GameTap have announced Re\Visioned, a new and quite frankly fantastic-sounding animated series for GameTap TV. The deal is that a whole bunch of quality and/or popular writers and artists are going to get together and make short cartoon series based on video game characters and their settings.

Each character/universe will get one season, and first up is Tomb Raider. I know, I would have preferred Billy Hatcher, too, but them's the breaks. Some of the guys involved in series one are Warren Ellis, Peter Chung and Jim Lee, so that should give you a feel for what to expect: basically, the Animatrix, but for games.

You can check a teaser for the first episode (Peter Chung's) over at GameTap. Oh, best part? The shows are available globally, and they're free. Bravo! Luke Plunkett
