Hooray, Tomb Raider’s PC Version Is Now Way Less Crashtastic

Tomb Raider‘s PC version is generally strong, offering a better-looking, higher resolution, smoother tomb-raiding experience than its console counterpart. That said, if you’re using an Nvidia graphics card, the game could be unstable, although that instability is usually fixed by turning tessellation off.


Tomb Raider Vs. Uncharted: The Comparison We Had To Make

Tomb Raider Gets Better After You’ve Beaten It

Tomb Raider gave me the worst kind of quiet at first. The game’s silences were ones filled with tension and dread, interludes where my worries about getting Lara through the experience would fester.

Tomb Raider‘s reboot as a video game seems to have worked out well, so Crystal Dynamics is comfortable talking about their reboot plans for the film too.


Tomb Raider: The Kotaku Review

I never wanted to have sex with Lara Croft. And I didn’t want to protect her either. In the early Tomb Raider games that I played and loved, the relationship was simple. The lethal, archly snippy adventurer was me and I was her. I wanted what she wanted: to unearth the relics of antiquity. To go where human footsteps had never tread. To forge ahead into mystery.


PC Tomb Raider Will Be So Much Better Than Console, If Your Rig Is Up To It

Rejoice, computer gaming Tomb Raider fans — when Lara returns to her home turf this May she’ll be bringing along a treasure trove of PC-centric bells and whistles that’ll make the console versions look downright sad in comparison. Let’s see if your system has the juice to run them.
