In which I yammer on about games or game-related items not yet released, and how much I want them...

**Rise of the Tomb Raider**
20 Year Celebration

I recently got an email from Square Enix (Of course I'm subscribed to their newsletter! I'm obsessed with Squeenix, remember?) and it was filled with info on the upcoming special edition of Rise of the Tomb Raider. 

This is a game I've wanted for a while, but have yet to acquire. Now, I will wait until I can get my hands on this special, 20th anniversary edition. I mean, check out everything it includes:

I swiped this from the purchase page. Clicking it will enlarge it so you can read it [hopefully].
Clicking HERE will take you to the link where I nabbed it. ♥

It's really neat to see how far Tomb Raider has come from its very beginning. Check out the YouTube vid I've linked below. ▼

Screenshot Saturday (#13) - Tomb Raider (2013)

I'm a long-time fan of the Tomb Raider franchise. When I heard there would be a reboot, of course I was intrigued. I like the result, though it's by far more "adult" than the first games in this series. Here are a few screenshots. Enjoy! ♥

New Loot! (#13)

Here's one I forgot...

***Tomb Raider***

Published by Square Enix

Developed by Crystal Dynamics

Released 2013

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

This was one I picked up free a long time ago when Microsoft offered it to Xbox Live Gold users. I don't normally share every single one of those I pick up since I rarely play them longer than ten minutes or so and then they usually end up deleted from my console. I happened to play this one through to the end, however, and I quite enjoyed it, so I figured I'd add it to my 'loot I need to share with my readers' pile.

I was a Tomb Raider fan way back when I had a playstation (PS1). In fact, though I no longer have a working PS1, I still have Tomb Raider 1 & 2 (I also have Gran Turismo 1 & 2, but that's a different story). So this new take on the franchise was one I was eyeballing for a while. It was a nice bonus when Microsoft offered it for free.

***Tomb Raider***
Definitive Edition

Published by Square Enix

Developed by Crystal Dynamics

Released 2014

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

While I'm at it, I might as well share that I also grabbed the Definitive Edition when it was offered free for Xbox One. It includes all the DLC and a few extras only available in the Def Ed. I haven't played it yet, but I'll get to it eventually, just to see what's different if for no other reason.

Until next time...
