Salvo! - I (heart) Lara Croft

Everyone who knows me well knows how much I love the Tomb Raider games. No, not because of Lara's assets. Its because I love archeology, mythology and brain-twisting puzzle solving. Nothing could be better than combining all three. No, wait, that's not quite true. Nothing could be better than combining norse archeology, norse mythology and brain-twisting puzzle solving. Wait, that's still not quite true. Nothing could be better than combining all three in a search for Thor's hammer. Yes, Tomb Raider: Underworld could quite possibly the worlds first game made entirely just for me.

Unfortunately I will have to steal a friend's computer to play it. But that's ok, I did that for Legend.

Oh, and if you want to know more about the game go to CBR. The gameplay is apprently a marked improvment over Legend and Anniversary (both of which had awesome gameplay). I especially like the ability you are given to decide whether you want a more combat orientated game, or a more puzzle-orientated game. Cause while I'm good at puzzles, I'm useless at combat. I won't feeel guilty about adjusting the game so enemies have extremely low health, allowing Lara to mow through them with her dual pistols. It's Lara Croft. She can do anything.
