Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics’ most recent entry into the Tomb Raider franchise is a significant departure for the series; even the name has changed from Tomb Raider to Lara Croft. Fans of the series will notice the change the instant the title boots up, with a menu screen styled after a graphic novel. The game retains that graphic novel feel throughout.
Sure, there was online gaming back in the day but the modern age of online video gaming began almost twenty years ago with Xbox Live 1.0.
Haha. Yep. To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today.
That is arguable seeing as how good similar PC services are these days. The lack of cheaters on console is the closed ecosystem rather than extra effort by MS/Sony
"To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today."
The horrible lag back then was due to peole not having the speeds needed to run games, peoples internet speeds were all over the place. Hacking is as bad today, if not worse than back then. People now have access to sophisticated hacking programmes that were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. Anticheat software was also available way before Xbox Live and the paid online services became a thing.
I gamed online a lot from 1999 onwards and had great times playing without having issues with people cheating and no one had to pay for an online subscription.

Before we start splashing the cash too early however, let’s first take a look at the Xbox One and Xbox 360 freebies on offer with the Xbox Live Games With Gold of January 2019. As we kick off the new year, just how good or bad are the titles nestled within our monthly subscription?"
celest's pixelated look put me off (main reason why i refuse to give minecraft a try) but i keep hearing great things about it in terms of overall game design and a story i can relate to so now i'm looking forward to it.
Just trying to help out those newcomers to the Xbox world I guess! Nowt wrong with that.
How would you feel if the next digital game you paid for was a duplicate of an item already in your library?
9 out of 10...wow. I'm definitely buying it tonight!
This game is seriously awesome.
I never have any interest in playing Lara Croft game. I don't know why, they just don't interest me in the slightest. Even when they get reviews like this.
Sweet! Been looking forward to this!
It's not a normal tombraider game, but it's still croft and it's still puzzle etc.
Looks pretty good tbh, didn't think i'd like it at first, but i've seen a few vids, there's a decent one on www.gamersyde.com - xbox etc.
I'll buy on PS3 probably.
