Expert Review If you noticed the title, it's conspicuous by the absence of the Tomb Raider branding. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light turns the Tomb Raider franchise on its head; changing gameplay, graphics and more of what you've come to...

Ich muss zugeben, dass mich anfangs die Skepsis voll im Griff hatte. Ein Download-Spiel rund um Lara Croft? Das kann ja eigentlich nur ein mittelprächtiger Zeitvertreib bis zum Release des „echten“ Tomb Raider werden. Selten hab ich...

Det er i bund og grund den samme gamle Lara, der møder os i finalen af Xbox Live Summer of Arcade. Hun udforsker urgamle katakomber, svinger sig over livsfarlige afgrunde, og skyder sig direkte ind i vores hjerter. Og denne gang er hun ikke...
