Underworld might be one of Laras best romps, but most of its highlights have been seen many times before, and its lowlights are also now too familiar to be excused. Most time is spent in lonely, dazzling locales like underwater caves or jungle temple...

Great level design, graphically spectacular, dripping with atmosphere.
Below-par combat, sometimes annoying camera.

Tomb Raider makes me long for the days of the first PlayStation. I didn't really play many of the first Tomb Raider games, but Lara Croft always seems to remind me of that era. Appropriately, it was a simpler time for gaming and maybe that's why TR:U t...

Tomb Raider Underworld isn’t a game that will completely change the gaming world or the series for that matter. However, the game is a faithful evolution of the formula presented in the previous games. If you haven’t touched a Tomb Raider game since it...

While it doesn’t propel the series forward to new heights, Underground is certainly an exciting and challenging Tomb Raider game worthy of Lady Croft’s sizeable talents. Yes, the returning problems from the first game are back but these new tombs make...

Great story brings the trilogy full-circle; gorgeous graphics with huge vistas; lots of new moves.
Poor technical performance with bad camera, lousy framerate and lots of bugs; new moves can create confusion in controls.

Tomb Raider recently underwent both a renaissance (2006's Legend, an excellent return to form) and a redux (last year's Anniversary, which seems to be in everyone's backlog), so Underworld is effectively right where it needs to be. While it doesn't qui...

Next to Mario, Lara Croft is perhaps the most iconic video game persona of all time. Her skimpy outfits, dual pistols, and signature ponytail have permeated popular culture (though having Angelina Jolie cast as her movie counterpart didn't hurt).Disappoin...
