Big Games of 2013: The Return of Soul Reaver

Before Crystal Dynamics became known as the studio that saved Tomb Raider from a fate worse than Death (c’mon, Core Design was lagging with Angel of Darkness), they had worked on a number of original franchises.  Among them was Legacy of Kain, which was handed to them after Silicon Knights worked on Blood Omen for PS One.  The team configured the series into a third-person action/adventure game, one featuring a reaver named Raziel working his way through a dank underworld, seeking revenge on Kain for actions that can’t be undone.

Big Games of 2012: The New Lara Croft Amazes in New Tomb Raider Trailer
When Lara Croft made her debut in the world of video games, she was an absolute stunner. She was a graceful jumper, capable of clearing chasms with ease and avoiding boulders, arrows, and anything else that got in her way. She also was quite the looker. Lara Croft helped pave the way for the sexy video game heroine with her dangerous curves and her trademark half-grin she would wear in the face of danger. However, for the next Tomb Raider game, Crystal Dynamics has a different idea in mind, replacing sexiness with grittiness. A new trailer for the game has been released, giving us an idea of what to expect with the new Lara Croft.
