Now, here's the thing. I want the collector's edition.

I've got $10 in credit at Game Stop, but they're sold out.

I've got $5 off on Amazon

I've got $5 off at Best Buy, and will receive a $20 coupon if I buy the game.

Why can't I just combine them all?!

The game is a lot of fun. I had stopped playing Tomb Raider games a while back, still remember playing the original on my PlayStation. yes, the one that didn't have a number in the name and was a big, dull grey rectangle!

This new game has some pretty cool environments, a neat "survival instinct" feature, great graphics and good gameplay. I don't find the story too engrossing, but that may just be me.

Isn't that skin available to purchase/download through Xbox Live?

Haha, yeah... it probably is.... but I got this feeling you didn't actually read my post.

You do make a good point though, I should grow some patience and wait it out. I'm sure it will be for sale on the PSN soon enough. I mean, all of those exclusive Arkham City skins have been released... but at the same time, the Green Lantern Wal-Mart exclusive skin for that Manhunters game was never available on PSN in North America. Ah DLC, how one will never know if one can have it all.

My eyes are bleeding! Seriously, why do they make graphics so intense now that I have to strain to read the text on my 19" lo-def TV? Then again, maybe I shouldn't have been playing this game for 12 hours straight...

Anyways, I'm loving it. The story is great, the acting is superb (even if I do miss Kalee Hawys), the graphics are beautiful. It gets steadily tougher, and the controls are nicely integrated. I love all the little add ons and extras that help it feel like a Tomb Raider game.

Beat it. Easily the best game I've played since KotOR.

A few plot notes:

I knew Whitman was a bad guy from the start. There's no other way to play off that kind of character. My only regret is that I didn't get to off him myself. At least he got what he deserved.

I was getting really sick of Sam running off/getting captured. Honestly by the end of the game I was willing to just leave her behind and let her become possessed. She was like one long escort mission. And I know she was Lara's college friend, and maybe she represents the innocence that Lara looses, but I just straight up didn't care for her. Reyes and whatshisname Soos Jonah were much more likable characters that made me care about them. Even Alex. Sam was just... useless. And letting her become possessed would have gotten them off the island just as quick if not quicker than "Sorry but your princess is in another tomb."

Roth was sad. It was like Lara losing her father all over again, and you really got a feel for him. My only complaint would be his comment about Lara knowing loss but not sacrifice, and then him sacrifices himself, which still only teaches her loss. :/

And good grief, girl. I was waiting for her to get dual pistols throughout the entire game. Figured i'd get to use them for 1/10th of a second. tongue.png

Anyways, amazing story and game. Can't wait for some Minimates! My favorite combo is long bow and pistol. Stalk a couple dudes, then when they start running up, set one of them on fire and unload into the rest of them with the pistol. So much fun.

I haven't played a TR game since probably the original but I've heard such a buzz about this new one that I decided to give it a try. Well, it is awesome! I stopped last night when I was just getting to the radio tower but so far the story has been solid and the game play has been very good. I hope they are already working on the sequel because this seems to be quite the rebirth of the franchise.

And finding out that there are going to be Tomb Raider minimates is just the icing on the cake! :)

Just finished the game, and whoa I cannot wait for the Minimates now. Also TM2 Dinobot I'm right there with you, my eyes are bloodshot, I'm probably going to have to use an economy sized bottle of Visine tomorrow to get through class.

Two things to announce: Most, if not all store exclusive DLC is on the PS3. Apparently Square Enix is not happy with the sales of the game. "At 3.4 million copies sold since release, it is considered a relative failure for Square Enix." That is kinda sad.

That's sad, Pickle. I've been seeing ads for this everywhere. I would have thought it would have done a lot better.

I know! I have a feeling all the individual retail dlc items were released to hopefully increase profit. Seemed strange to have everything (well, not the xbox multiplayer maps) released on the same day so close to launch.
