Long entombed thread uncovered (Tomb Raider hits some Wednesday in 2006)
I'm sitting on a 360 until April 19th (son's birthday), but I'm thinking of letting him crack it open Wednesday so we can check out the new TR game. I was surprised to see it will be on the XB & PS2 also...I thought it was a 360 exclusive. Are you getting it, and if so, on what platform?

I know I'm going to cave and get MLB 2k6 which everybody is saying could be terrible, but I'm a sucker for baseball. I've only heard good things about this and the demo rocks, so perhaps if I've got some extra cash I'll grab it on 360.

I've never actually played a Tomb Raider game (and after seeing some of the previous reviews for some of them, it doesn't appear I've missed a lot) but this one looks good. Let me know what you folks think.

After playing the demo (360) I'll definitely be picking it up later this week. The controls still aren't as solid as games like prince of persia or god of war but the graphics were very well done and the one level I played was a good time. The lock-on shooting a la GTA worked well also.

I downloaded the TR demo, and I am just not that excited about it. I guess if I had the money, I would buy Oblivion first.

Heck yeah... I'm a long time TR fan, own every game for PS/PS2 (and even a few of the PC versions). So I've been eagerly awaiting TRL since the last (regrettably weak) TR: Angel of Darkness was released. I really hope it is worth the wait. There hasn't been a really good TR game since the fourth one, which was way back in '99.
BTW, Circuit City is apparently selling it for $10 cheaper this week than any other B&M. Hopefully they get enough copies that it doesn't sell out (well, before I can get over there and pick one up) because it's back up to the full $49 next week.

i'm not really big on the TR games, but the graphics in this one for the 360 are awesome. i thought the demo download from live was fun, but i'll probably pass on this till it hits the sale rack a year from now.

I've never played one, but considered this. Definitely a rental then.

It seems I just don't have the patience for these kinds of games. I played the demo and really didn't see anything wrong with it (well, except for the way Lara climbs up onto a ledge then goes into a handstand). I get frustrated too easily by jumping and vine swinging.
I wanted to like it though.

I just checked the chart as well. Looks like it has been tested and confirmed to work in US/Canadian 360s.
Only $3 shipping as well.
Looks like they have most of the 360 games at this price as well. Not all have been tested, even though they are all in english.

$20 price difference for 8 days? I think it is a fair trade off.
Not sure if I will give it a shot though as I resell everything through half.com(easier than ebay) and they remove any non R1 merchandise.
