publishers and developers of entertainment software,
today confirms that Lara Croft Tomb
Raider Anniversary will be on store shelves

As one

original adventure.
"Tomb

highly original, but also offers gamers who are
new to Lara, a completely fresh and new action
adventure game," said Executive Vice President
of Sales and Marketing, Robert Lindsey, Eidos,
Inc.
Created
with an advanced version of the engine used for
Lara Croft Tomb
Raider Legend, the gameplay mechanics, artificial
intelligence and level puzzles of Tomb Raider
Anniversary are now more refined, in-depth and
complex.
The technology
has also enabled all of the nostalgic environments
from the original adventure to be envisioned on
a much grander scale. Most importantly, Tomb Raider
Anniversary faithfully preserves the elements
which made the original such a success.
"The
original Tomb Raider made Lara
Croft into the digital icon that she is today,"
said Director of Marketing, Matt Gorman, Eidos,
Inc. "Tomb Raider Anniversary is our way of paying
tribute to Lara Croft and the history of the franchise
by exploring the roots of what made the Tomb Raider
game successful."
Lara
Croft Tomb Raider Anniversary is developed by
Crystal
Dynamics and will be on store shelves June
5th, 2007 for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment
system and Windows PC. Lara Croft Tomb Raider
Anniversary on the PSP (PlayStation Portable)
