I love how Lara is not this superhero type character that takes on the challenges without hesitation. Her emotions and actions resemble what anyone would do in her situations.

The graphics are really amazing and I am just completely addicted to playing it right now. There is also a lot of stuff to find to help boost the replay value. I literally spent an hour just shooting animals with my bow lol.

man, i rly wanna play it lol

You can zoom when aiming weapons. I do not know if you can do all that while running around, I just move the camera around is all. Not sure about the screenshot, that would be sweet though!

Played for 3 hours straight, Game is outstanding! Graphics are INSANE and the sound through my surround sound is stunning!

I didnt think we'd have an adventure game as good as Uncharted 2 this gen...but i tell you what...this is it!

It obviously doesn't think you deserve to play Tomb Raider.

Wouldn't it be funny if your new PS3 didn't think you deserved to play it as well.

Will note Tomb Raider is infact on the PSN store, for those who prefer digital.

The Tomb Raider Digital Edition bundle includes: -

- The full Tomb Raider game.
- 3-pack bundle of the weapons Agent 47 uses in Hitman: Absolution™.
- Shanty Town multiplayer map, which is a ramshackle area that features steep climbs, multiple ziplines for quick escapes, and deadly traps to set for your enemies.
- TombRaider Outfit Pack (A 3-pack bundle of outfits for Lara — the Hunter, Aviatrix and Guerilla outfits.)
- Quantum Conundrum Full Game

via SEN store.

Ughhh, I even looked on the store to purchase the digital copy.

I bet the damn store was not updated when I looked for the game.

But this is a common with Nixxes ports, if you remember TR:U was 578p on 360 but Nixxes PS3 version was 720p
Nixxes also handles the PC versions of Tomb Raider too
I haven't seen any performance hits so far on PS3 and no one has said anything on Gaf
But both look good regardless, just the PS3 version is sharper
thou DF might reveal something we can't see PS3 version may have a major drop of 2 frames for instance lol

All right, great info there man.

Just placed an order for the PS3 version.

I'm getting this today, undecided on whether to get it on PC or Xbox 360. Leaning towards X360 due to favoring the controller over the KB+M.

Apparently it has controller support on PC so for me that's the way to go.

**emmerich** · 03-06-2013

Yeah I don't have a wired 360 controller to use on PC though unfortunately. Or I would do that for sure.

**Bhindi_Bhajji** · 03-06-2013

That's unfortunate. Just in case you were unaware though there is a wireless 360 pad available for PC, that's what I use.

PSU's verdict is now up. I've had the game since last Friday, and absolutely love it to bits. Crystal Dynamics really did a great job reinventing this iconic character.

I'm using my Dual Shock 3 to play it on the PC. It's kind of a pain to set up, at least it was for me, but it's totally worth it in my opinion. I have to played wired though with the DS3 USB cable, but that doesn't bother me.
