Another slow news week, though we do talk for a while about the kerfuffle that is the Sim City launch. Chris salivates over the prospect of a new Thief game, while we get happy and a little sad about the news of more Walking Dead from Telltale.
Chris and Todd talk a bit about the new Lara Croft, as they go over their experiences with Crystal Dyamnics' Tomb Raider reboot. And Todd explains the insanity that is The Showdown Effect, we finish things up with myself and Todd not quite knowing what to say as Chris explains Miasmata to us.
From outer space to stealing in Europe, The Epic Games Store has two free games you might like.
Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
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.
