CVG: With a Tomb Raider collection on the way we thought Crystal Dynamics' brand director Karl Steward was the perfect person to give us the details. Here's what he had to say.
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
They say good things come in threes. That would explain why these trilogies are amongst the best in the industry.
I like the Ezio trilogy and the ME trilogy but I also love the Xenosaga trilogy and Ar Tonelico trilogy.
My personal favorites would be the GoW trilogy (both Gears & God), the original halo trilogy, Streets of Rage trilogy, Super Star Wars trilogy, Metroid Prime trilogy
Xenosaga! I’d say games like Suikoden or Ys but they went beyond three games.

Time, a bunch of monkeys and money :D
I don't understand how a ps2 port can't be run at 1080p, at least 720p at 60fps...
I think they're too lazy...
Speaking of which, I must pick up Prince of Persia HD collection next week :)
takes mood.
If I may just hijack the topic here, can anyone tell me if the Sly Cooper collection is worth getting for someone who never played them on PS2 but who's sick to death of modern grey macho realistic shooters and wants something different??
