What was once a shining beacon in the land of 3D gaming, Tomb Raider is
having an identity crises as of late. The last several iterations of the game have been less than stellar to put
it lightly. With the seventh game's pending 2006 release, the Eidos team looks to take the series back to its
roots.
From the article: "Tomb Raider is about a character who is extremely dangerous, very refined and who goes
after mysteries. That's it in a nutshell, isn't it? The fact that [the new game] is not playing the sex card
makes her more interesting. I'm not sure there are others like that - Jade from Beyond Good & Evil, I
guess, but it's rare."
Here's hoping they can pull it off for Lara Croft lovers the world over. What other series, while once successful,
have become watered down?
