Another addition to the classic series has arrived with a bang. Tomb Raider is one of the best I've seen in years. As Laura, you experience heartbreak, sorrow, and regret, all the while eliminating those who threaten her.

Story: Laura is an average explorer looking for treasure and the discovery of her life. Her funny attitude and and not-so-down-to-earth ways make Laura a prime candidate for getting shipwrecked. Laura thinks she is stranded, but thankfully is not alone. The rest of the crew she was with is in an unknown location on the island and Laura needs to find them. At first you think you're too far away from your crew, and that thought stays with you until you're knocked out. You awaken in some sort of death dungeon surrounded by human remains. Laura is faced with death for the first time, and that first time is emotional. Crystal Dynamics did a fantastic job of capturing the emotion in Laura as she kills her first person. She cries and apologizes but deep down knows that it was for her safety. Laura is able to find her friends, again an emotional toll for her. Her mind is racing, confused about what is all taking place, which makes you feel what Laura feels. The game can become a bit confusing though as you progress. At some points you can't tell if she is the soft gentle Laura we know, or a stone cold killer that we've never seen before. At times Laura mentions that she needs to prove herself to her father. It is difficult to differentiate whether she is trying to survive or prove her toughness to others.
