Get Your Hands on Lara Croft For (Almost) Free

Lara Croft is ten years old today (doesn’t that make you feel dirty?), and to celebrate, Eidos is letting you play Tomb Raider Anniversary for free.

Of course, nothing in life is truly free, is it? You can access the game through TrialPay, an alternative payment service, but only after you sign up to try or buy an offer from one of their blue-chip advertisers. To sign up for your free subscription to Tomb Raider Anniversary, go to the TrialPay sign-up page.

See? Lara’s a classy broad. She wouldn’t be givin’ it away for nothin’! Her momma raised her better than that!

Tomb Raider Anniversary Hits Xbox Live

Lara Croft’s updated first adventure has been in stores since late last month for the Xbox 360, and many of you chose not to pick it up, either not giving a damn or just plain laziness. Good news for the latter group! Now Tomb Raider Anniversary is available for download via Xbox Live in two, 1200 point downloads. Unless my math is off, and it generally is, that comes out to around $US 30 for the game, $US 10 off the retail price. The downside? If you’ve not upgraded to a large 360 hard drive, the 3GB of space this baby takes up is a huge chunk of hard disk real estate, if you’re so inclined, the game is listed under Tomb Raider: Legend in the new games section of the download service. An excellent way to cope with post Thanksgiving lethargy…or just general American lethargy for that matter. We yanks love our sitting on our asses.

Week in Games: Boogie Edition

This week’s new release list is looking rather anaemic with half the list being populated by Mega Man titles. I am, however, looking forward to playing Boogie as it was one of my favourite games I played at E3. It was fun, simple and made me laugh a lot. Anybody else going to check it out?

Boogie (WII) Sing, dance and create your own videos with a great songlist.

Mega Man Star Force: Dragon (DS) Mega Man goes the Pokemon route, releasing three slightly different versions of the same game. Dragon is exclusive to Gamestop/EB Games.

Mega Man Star Force: Leo (DS) Mega Man goes the Pokemon route, releasing three slightly different versions of the same game. This one is Liony.
