The Many Face's of Lara Croft.......

With the announcement of the newest episode in the Lara Croft series at this years E3 I thought it would be an interesting subject to cover, on things such as how Lara has evolved over the past 15 years.
The first game in the Tomb Raider series was an instant hit winning the hearts of the gaming community, it was originally released on the Sega Saturn, but due to popularity of the game Playstation copies quickly followed.
The story followed Lara Croft a young British archaeologist traveling around the world breaking into Tombs searching for hidden treasures.
But unfortunately some of the games that followed in the series were not quite as impressive as the first few in the series, they lacked in the feeling that special feeling that you had when you were playing the first game, almost as if you had been there and done it before.
But there is hope yet, Lara's new adventure soon to come, looks set to impress. The trailer shows a very different Lara to what we have seen before, she doesn't seem like her usual self "un-phased by anything that is thrown at her" Square Enix seem to have made the game much more mad, more like a horror. In the trailer we can clearly see that Lara is actually scared of what is happening around her.
I'm looking very forward to the latest installment in the series and what it has to offer, but more importantly if it will beat my favourite the very first Tomb Raider. Here's a trailer have a look for yourself.
