Tomb Raider Video Game Reboot

The video game franchise, Tomb Raider, is getting a reboot. Reboots seem to be a trend in entertainment these days. Let’s just hope it’s done right this time. Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics amped up the franchise with Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary, and Tomb Raider Underworld and now they are taking a shot at the origins of Lara Croft. Origin stories also seem to be a trend. I have played all of the Tomb Raider games and have been a big fan since the beginning. I’ve enjoyed what Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have done and I am very excited to see what they are doing with the new game. They have uses these phrases in promoting the game, Lara Croft: The Evolution and A Survivor is Born: The New Lara Croft.

Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light

For the first time in Tomb Raider history, Lara croft works side by side with another playable character. Lara Croft is joined by Totec, a Mayan Warrior, who aids her on her tomb raiding  journey. This is the first Tomb Raider game that will allow you to either play single player or play co-op mode with a friend. Lara wields her classic pistols as Totec totes a spear. The two will have to work together to solve puzzles and fight enemies. Lara can use her grapple to bridge a gap for Totec to walk across, or Totec can spear a wall for Lara to climb on. The game has an arcade-like setup, which adds to the co-op experience. The game will be released as a digital download for PC, X Box 360, and PS3, this summer.
