Review by James Cullinane;

Quote: Every so often, fate, like a sneering Dickensian cook, serves up a bowl of lumpy humble pie. Short of ignoring it altogether until someone inevitably points out the contradiction, all you can do is nod politely, compose yourself at the proffered table, unwrap your trusty spoon and begin swallowing it all down without so much as a wince. In an editorial published in late May, I chronicled the decline of the Tomb Raider franchise and concluded that it was time to put Lara Croft out to pasture. To compound the impending humiliation, I will now quote myself: “In March this year, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was announced. As if to highlight the game’s diminished status from perky PlayStation peddler to sagging digital spinster, the title will be download-only on the PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE and Games for Windows.”

I love isometric games! This looks way more fun.

I hadn't read much about this, having never really liked any of the Tomb Raider titles in the past, so was hugely sceptical. After about ten minutes I was hooked - this is actually a really good game, and unbelievably cheap.

Ah yep, so it's Tomb Raider Diablo... all I really needed to know.

Wow what a dark horse this game is. Great reviews all round too. Going to check this out for sure.

Earlier tomb raider games were mint.

Did you pick that up from the review, or just from how JvJ really liked it?

Neither tbh, I've watched about 15 seconds of gameplay footage and know basically what the entire game is.

Oh well, Diablo is a great game! See what happens then

It's more about the puzzles. Diablo was more about the casino.

Yeh well I figured that, being a Tomb Raider game

loving this game, co-op is great

This was a delightful surprise to me. The title has gone up to 'awesome' from 'don't even bother' imo. Reinvention paid off well.

Sweet, it's seriously hard to find decent co-op games. Who would have thought that having only one console could cause relationship problems......

It's coming to PC too, guys.

Has anyone played the PC version of this yet? Before I buy it, I want to understand how local co-op works. One person on a keyboard? Another on a controller? 2x controller support?

I've played the demo but not coop yet :P

It was pretty fun, I played with a usb adapter and a PS2 controller

So it definitely is 2xplayers on the same pc with 1 screen though right?
