• Have You Played Lara Croft & The Guardian Of Light? - 12 April 2016

  Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. My favourite part of Tomb Raider has always been seeing forgotten spaces and exotic landscapes, with all the key-collecting, dull puzzles, and (until recent games) wonky combat being the price I had to pay to enter exciting new places. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is less good at awe, but the top-down shooter spin-off makes up for it by smooshing action, puzzles, and platforming into one big merry romp. It’s a cracker of a co-op game too. …

• The 25 Best Action Games On PC - 27 August 2015

  You probably like action games. But which ones should you like best?! We’ve narrowed it down to 25, and then put them in the unimpeachably correct order. Read on for details of the best action biff-zap-collect-me-do gaming you can stuff down your trousers. …

• Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris details unearthed - 18 June 2014

  Along with the announcement of The Rise of Tomb Raider for consoles next year, Crystal Dynamics is also hard at work on the downloadable follow-up to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light . Titled Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, it is slated for consoles with no release date set.

• Raiding Tombs: Lara Croft And The Co-op Sequel - 10 June 2014

  Well lah-di-dah, look at Lady Croft, hob-nobbing with ancient Egyptian gods. Don’t Horus and Isis know what she gets up to at weekends? She stole that dinner set too, you know. You can still see the bloodstains. I can’t imagine why they’re keeping company with her. For all I know gods are fond of that blood and murder, though. Dreadful heathens. I tell you Alice dear, I wanted them to turn down my invitation to afternoon tea. Deary me, sorry readers. I popped out the room to make a cuppa before tackling the announcement of Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and my grandmother Alice (it’s a family name) starts trying to send me an e-mail about a video game as if the characters and events contained within were real ha ha grandmother what a hackneyed literary device. …

• Free Tomb Play: Guardian Of Light Goes F2P - 15 November 2012

  Welcome, friends! Welcome. Come in. Take a seat. Here at Crazy Tom Braider’s Gently Used Car and Videogame Emporium, we have everything you could possibly want to suit your baddie-horde-bashing, 2000-year-old-Mayan-warrior-co-oping needs. We also have one car, but that’s not for sale because it’s mine. Then again, I suppose that Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light isn’t technically for sale either, given that it’s actually free-to-play by way of this crazy ad-powered Core Online gadgetmowhatsit. Yessir, our prices are craaaaaazy. And by that I mean kind of confusing . (more…)

• Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light free-to-play - 14 November 2012

  Just in case you missed the isometric adventure game Lara Croft an the Guardian of Light in 2010, you can now play the game for absolutely free. Square Enix has added the title to its "Core Online" platform, the ad-supported, browser-based game service it launched it August . The game is supported on Chrome, Firefox, and IE browsers, and Mac users can play it using Chrome's Native Client. The game received positive reception from critics, despite being a fairly radical departure from the standard Tomb Raider series. It's a co-op adventure in which Lara teams up with a 2,000 year old Mayan warrior named Totec to recover the Mirror of Smoke. Core Online currently hosts Hitman: Blood Money and Mini Ninjas , and still plans to release Tomb Raider Underworld and Gyromancer as promised in the initial announcement. As previously reported, the Core Online business model lets you choose between…

• Square Enix launches ad-supported browser game portal - 29 August 2012

  Square Enix is launching a new Web-based gaming portal that offers some of the company's back catalog for free. The "CoreOnline" service lets you play Hitman: Blood Money or Mini Ninjas by either watching advertisements between chunks of the games, or paying a fee to bypass them. The CoreOnline site (via GI.biz ) only boasts those two games so far, but promises others on the way like Tomb Raider Underworld and Gyromancer . Save data is also stored on the cloud, so you can pick up from a different computer or browser at any time. This isn't the first time the publisher has experimented with cloud gaming. During the launch of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the publisher included a free OnLive version of the game with every retail copy, leading to a scuffle with GameStop. It appears Square Enix is now more interested in pursuing its own platform, instead of partnering with the beleaguered stre…

• Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light headed to Xperia Play - 28 September 2011

  Square Enix and Sony Ericsson have just secured a partnership that will bring a number of the publisher's games to the first PlayStation-certified phone, the Xperia Play. Starting in November, Square will begin releasing games for the device on the Andriod marketplace, the first such offering being Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light . "This is just the start of what we plan to do together," said Ben Cusack, head of mobile for Square Enix Europe, "but right now, we are delighted to be able to show off the full potential of our games with this innovative smartphone, bringing them to life as our creators intended." Previously released as a downloadable title for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and iOS . Given Xperia Play's foundation on the Android OS, it's likely the game will find a wider Android release in the future. (via Gamasutra )

• iPhone's Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Is a Spectacular Action Shooter - 25 December 2010

  I was a big fan of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light when it came to consoles and, it turns out, I'm just as big a fan of the iPhone version. The game translates surprisingly well, using twin digital thumbsticks to let players control Croft's movements and in which direction she fires her twin handguns. You can also tap over to a spear, which can be thrown into walls and then jumped up on to get to hard to reach spots. Croft also has a mine she can drop and later detonate. The game comes with ten levels, a plethora of challenges and the ability to play through the game cooperatively with a friend. The game is worth the $6.99 price tag despite the issues I had finding anyone to play the game with.

• Lara Croft Shows Off The "World's Largest iPhone" - 20 December 2010

  Gameface is a photographic celebration of the people who make, play and love video games.

• The Tomb Raider Game That Might Work Well On An iPhone - 15 December 2010

  Square Enix is bringing Tomb Raider spin-off Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light to iPhones, iPods and iPads this week. It's the kind of Tomb Raider game that might play just fine with a touchscreen. The top-down cooperative adventure has already been released on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as a downloadable game, but the newest Lara Croft game—pre- reboot —will discover new platforms tomorrow. The iPhone/iPod touch version will set players back $6.99 USD, with an HD version of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light shipping as well for $9.99 USD. We'll see if touching Lara Croft to control her (and her Guardian of Light partner Totec) when the game hits on December 16.

• Kane and Lynch and Kain and Raziel and the Guardian of Light - 1 December 2010

  Are career criminals Kane and Lynch finally going to appear in a great game? It would appear so, as the PC version of Tomb Raider spin-off Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is getting some unexpected playable characters. The stars of IO Interactive's gritty but flawed Kane & Lynch series of action games will be coming to adventure-puzzler Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, a surprising addition seemingly confirmed by developer Crystal Dynamics. Messrs. Kane and Lynch will be joined by another pair of well-known video game characters, Kain and Raziel from the currently dormant Legacy of Kain series. YouTube user MrNightmareTM , via NeoGAF , has already uncovered the four downloadable characters by hacking the PC version of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, which you can see in a pair of videos. Crystal Dynamics wants to know who you want to see made available first. Out of curi…
