Lara Croft is back in Tomb Raider: Legend (TRL), the seventh game in the highly popular Tomb Raider series. This action adventure game was developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos Interactive. TRL was initially released in Europe April 2006 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC and Xbox 360. Since then the game has been made available for the PSP, Gamecuibe, GameBoy Advance and Nintendo DS formats. Today we will be commenting on the PlayStation2 version. The previous Tomb Raider game, Angel of Darkness, was such an appalling gaming effort. It must have set some sort of world record for the number of bugs in a game; it was literally infested from start to ...  Read the complete review

Tomb Raider Legend is an action platformer for the Playstation 2 developed by Crystal Dynamics. Lara returns after the decidedly poor attempt at a reviving the franchise in Angel of Darkness.

They can be found all over the world, but, as usual, she has to work against ...  Read the complete review

Released far back in 1996 and became a pretty decent Playstation hit, its transfer to the Playstation 2 did not do too well. Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness seemed pretty dull and boring. Personally though, I never got into them because of the control system. One analogue stick to move forwards/backwards and strafe, and one to move left and right. When I heard of the re-vamped control system though, after those months of waiting, reading the previews paid off. A change of developer also helped revamp the series, with Crystal Dynamics replacing the creator of Angel of Darkness Core Design. A change of publisher always gets me excited because it's interesting to see ...  Read the complete review
