Get Your Hands on Lara Croft For (Almost) Free


Lara Croft is ten years old today (doesn't that make you feel dirty?), and to celebrate, Eidos is letting you play Tomb Raider Anniversary for free.

Of course, nothing in life is truly free, is it? You can access the game through TrialPay, an alternative payment service, but only after you sign up to try or buy an offer from one of their blue-chip advertisers. To sign up for your free subscription to Tomb Raider Anniversary, go to the TrialPay sign-up page.

See? Lara's a classy broad. She wouldn't be givin' it away for nothin'! Her momma raised her better than that!

Tomb Raider Anniversary Hits Xbox Live

Lara Croft's updated first adventure has been in stores since late last month for the Xbox 360, and many of you chose not to pick it up, either not giving a damn or just plain laziness. Good news for the latter group! Now Tomb Raider Anniversary is available for download via Xbox Live in two, 1200 point downloads. Unless my math is off, and it generally is, that comes out to around $30 for the game, $10 off the retail price. The downside? If you've not upgraded to a large 360 hard drive, the 3GB of space this baby takes up is a huge chunk of hard disk real estate, if you're so inclined, the game is listed under Tomb Raider: Legend in the new games section of the download service. An excellent way to cope with post Thanksgiving lethargy...or just general American lethargy for that matter. We yanks love our sitting on our asses.

Tomb Raider Anniversary 360 Plans Fleshed Out

After a somewhat confusing reveal of Eidos' plans for Tomb Raider Anniversary on the Xbox 360, it appears that the remake of Lara Croft's original adventure has been nailed down. What was originally scheduled first as an Xbox Live Arcade release, one that requires ownership of Tomb Raider Legend, will come first as a standard retail release. Eidos will release Tomb Raider Anniversary for the 360 next week, October 23 in the U.S. and October 26th in Europe.

A pair of downloadable releases, still with the same Tomb Raider Legend requirement, will follow in November. Got it?

Week in Games: Boogie Edition

This week's new release list is looking rather anemic with half the list being populated by Mega Man titles. I am, however, looking forward to playing Boogie as it was one of my favorite games I played at E3. It was fun, simple and made me laugh a lot. Anybody else going to check it out?

Boogie (WII)
Sing, dance and create your own videos with a great songlist.

Mega Man Star Force: Dragon (DS)
Mega Man goes the Pokemon route, releasing three slightly different versions of the same game. Dragon is exclusive to Gamestop/EB Games.

Mega Man Star Force: Leo
(DS)
Mega Man goes the Pokemon route, releasing three slightly different versions of the same game. This one is Liony.

Mega Man Star Force: Pegasus (DS)
Mega Man goes the Pokemon route, releasing three slightly different versions of the same game. This one is Pegasusy.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PSP)
Ms. Croft's redesigned first adventure comes to the PSP

Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars (PSP)

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

What little gaming time I have during the week is often in bite sized chunks. A quest in Diablo II here. Some Jet Grind Radio there. The new games I've purchased over the past weeks mostly sit idly or are enjoyed by my house's other residents. For instance, I've had a wonderful time watching Tomb Raider: Anniversary being played, offering backseat gamer suggestions and strategies, longing to get off the laptop and get my hands on a controller. This weekend, however, I'll be plowing through some new and old titles. More »

Lara Croft Raids Women's Only Beach With Sexy Results

Lara Croft (as portrayed by Karima Adebibe) took a break from promoting Tomb Raider: Anniversary to head to the beach—to promote Tomb Raider: Anniversary. This isn't any old regular beach, this is a beach for women only. Reminds me of a film series I enjoyed in college titled Where The Boys Aren't, but with safe for workiness. More »

Tomb Raider: Anniversary Episodes Confirmed For XBLA

Eidos has confirmed speculation that Tomb Raider: Anniversary for the Xbox 360 will be an episodic affair, with releases beginning in the fall and requiring ownership of Tomb Raider Legend. However, gamers looking for a more traditional approach will be relieved to read that a full retail release of the game, already available for the PC and PlayStation 2, will come "later in the year."

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

With a fiesta throwing down at Casa de McWhertor tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if it ultimately wound down with a late night series of Guitar Hero II battles. Be warned party-goers, I'm bringing my A-game to my performance of Lamb of God's "Laid to Rest." More »

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Ah, the weekend. On Wednesdays it can't come soon enough. But today, there's an internal struggle as I look forward to it, yet cannot wait for it to pass. See, on Tuesday, Crecente and I are heading to the Playboy Mansion for an important event of some sort. I keep forgetting what that event is, but it's at the Playboy Mansion. The rest of the week is filled with a BioShock preview, many musical outings, and a soiree at Casa de McWhertor. So much to do! More »

Week in Games: Tomb Raider: Anniversary Edition

Looks like Ms. Croft is making a triumphant return to her roots this week with Tomb Raider: Anniversary. I'm rather looking forward to checking it out as I really liked the first game and the comparison video looks amazing. Everything else I think I can pass on. What do you think? Are you gonna show Lara some retro love? Flynn De Marco More »

Tomb Raider vs. Tomb Raider: Anniversary

To say that I'm somewhat excited for Tomb Raider: Anniversary would be an understatement and an insult to your ability to read my posts over the past few weeks. While I'm not some dyed in the wool uber fan, I've got a soft spot for the original, so a chance to revisit the game with tolerable graphics is just my speed. Anyway, GameTrailers put together this spiffy clip comparing the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions showing just how far we've come graphically (even with a last-gen visual handicap) since the original. Lever switching and wolf slaughtering never looked so good. Michael McWhertor

the vinyl countdown

A Gathering Of Laras

After the release of the first Tomb Raider, it became clear that the anticipation surrounding each sequel was generally focused on which new real-life model could better squeeze herself into the official pair of Lara Croft short shorts. Always looking to outdo the previous Lara's ability to fill out the tight vinyl top, we've generally been more impressed with the successive twenty-something ladies than with the videogames themselves.

Tomb Raider Anniversary Gets Steamy

Eidos, a publisher well-represented on the Steam platform, is bringing Tomb Raider Anniversary to Valve's digital distribution service with pre-orders (and pre-loads) kicking off today. Like its more traditional paper and plastic sister releases, the download of the eleventh anniversary of Lara's original PC, PlayStation and Saturn outing will cost $29.95 USD and be available to play on June 5 in North and South America. According to Valve, other unspecified regions will get the game a few days earlier on June 1. More »

Tomb Raider Anniversary Gets Wii Port

Eidos is making one more stop on the Tomb Raider Anniversary cash-in tour, giving Wii owners a chance to relive Lara Croft's original PC and PlayStation adventure. The game is built on the Tomb Raider Legends engine, quite pretty I might add, and promises its share of Wii-remote and nunchuk specific controls. More »
