Tomb Raider Legend GC/GBA/DS...

[Smoke]

I’ve been excitedly digging around the net to see if this was fake or not. It appears that it is actually true, which is really quite shocking. Tomb Raider Legend has been announced for the GameCube, DS and GBA.

Now, I know what you are thinking; do we need another Tomb Raider game? Well, let me tell you that I loved the first Tomb Raider. It truly was ground breaking when it came out and managed to combine Prince of Persia like gameplay and an Indiana Jones vibe that totally captured me. Many years after playing the original I dug it back up and gave it a whirl and it still held up.

However, the years haven’t been kind to Lara as each successive game got worse. And the movies certainly didn’t help. But all of that looks to have changed as the creative reins of the game were handed over to Crystal Dynamics and original Laura Croft creator Toby Gard.

Eidos has announced that the game will be available on Nintendo consoles this fall. From what I’m hearing, the company was surprised as to how well Lego Star Wars (as a side note, the second one is on its way and looks fantastic) sold on the Cube and it made them give the little console a second look. And judging from the PC demo of the game that I’ve been playing for the last hour, this is going to be great.

Sounds good to me.
