Tomb
Raider Anniversary has drawn its inspiration from
the original adventure that started it all. UK
developer Core Design introduced the action-adventure
genre in 1996 with the release of Tomb
Raider, the first 3D-adventure game with a
female lead. Crystal Dynamics now carry the baton,
garnering critical acclaim with Tomb
Raider Legend and scooping a
BAFTA in the process.
During
an phenomenal 10-year-journey, Lara Croft has
transcended the world of cyber-space and left
an indelible mark on popular culture. Her adventures
have sold in excess of 30 million units, and the
Tomb Raider brand has been globally exploited
to promote an array of products; from comic-books,
sports drinks, running shoes and more recently
to raise
awareness of skin cancer.
"Over
the years, the fans of the Tomb Raider franchise
have been constantly asking for a new version
of the original Tomb Raider. We have answered
the call with Tomb Raider Anniversary." says Eidos
PR specialist Matt Dalgren.
