Lara Croft to visit the Norse underworld this November
With Tomb Raider: Underworld set to be among the quartet of titles to be shown by Eidos during next month's E3, the publisher has launched the game's official website, simultaneously slapping a November release date on Lara Croft's latest trip underground for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PS2 and PC.
In addition to offering a narrowed release window, Eidos also shed a few details on the busty heroine's "exploration-based" escapade, revealing in a statement that the game will see Ms. Croft seeking "the secrets of the Norse underworld and a forgotten power." This immediatly makes us think that she'll be hunting down Thor's hammer, because really, who needs guns when you're packing Mjolnir?

Except for not finishing the freakin story, Legend was great. I've got high expectations for this one. Hopefully they call pull off another good TR.

"That lost it's greatness long ago."
So did grammar, apparently.

Yes, grammar has been lost. Damn you, Yoda. Damn you to hell!

Does hell exist in Star Wars?

After I bought and beat Legend on the PC, I ended up buying all six other Tomb Raiders, and have yet to beat any of them.
Of course, thats hardly surprising for some of them.

Yoiks! Underwater exploits?! No thanks, I'll pass-too many bad mems with Duke Nukem who swam like a loaded cement truck [sure loved the babes and alien scum, tho!]

All right, that doesn't make sense to me. One game did underwater action poorly, so now you won't play any games with underwater sequences. Superman 64 did flight poorly... if you played it, does that mean you won't play any other games that use flight? You're going to run out of genres really fast if you let the lowest denominator be your guide.

Yeah, Bean, that's pretty poor judgement.

I loved the first and most recent Tomb Raider game. Now, when I think of Lara I think of Angelina. I think too F'ing thin. Gain some weight you sexy beast.

All the comment text on joystiq is a weird greenish tint... Is anyone else getting this? It's only with Firefox 3.0, IE is fine.
finnith @ Jun 23rd 2008 4:06PM
I'm getting it as well using Firefox 3. It's not that noticeable though.

I really hope Underworld continues the cliffhanger from Legend if that not happen sorry not buy for me.
Vcize @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:14AM
Sorry Lara, I'll be busy with Marcus, Dom, and Maria come November.

"who needs guns when you're packing Mjolnir?"
The Master Chief, that's who.
snarfoogle @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:49AM
The Chief doesn't NEED guns, did you notice how powerful melee is in H3?
PojoMofo @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:09AM
Uncharted is the new TR benchmark at this point in my mind.
