Tomb Raider: Anniversary - Image 1 Tomb Raider: Anniversary - Image 2 


Tomb Raider: Anniversary
for PC and PS2 already dominated UK and German charts (PC version took France too), but our iconic video game babe doesn't stop there. Lara Croft will continue her adventures on the Xbox 360 as Eidos Interactive announced that Tomb Raider Legend owners will be able to download Anniversary in parts.

For the first time ever, a full retail game will be available from Xbox Live Marketplace. The original Tomb Raider was among the first to utilize full 3D technology during the time when transition was still happening. Lara is jumping forward guns ablazing once again, by being the world's first.

Said Jane Cavanagh, Chief Executive, Eidos:

Lara has always been at the forefront of technology and this world first initiative with Microsoft really highlights that fact. Ultimately we also intend to make the title available at retail so that it reaches the maximum possible audience.


First couple of episodes will be up for purchase come September, while the other two will come shortly after. Full game will reach retailers later this year. All four will cost a total of 2,400 Microsoft Points. Croft Manor level will be free, but other cool stuff like picture packs and theme packs will come later for a cost.

its great isn't it?! you pay £25-40 on a game then another £20-25 on a scond game thats downloadable and, unless your on unlimited broadband, will cost you even more for extended monthly allowance. OR you can wait until december for a full copy to come out at about £30. sound good to me. thanks microsoft

Let's get a few things straight

1. If you want to play this game through download, you can find Legend in the bargain bin or on eBay for $10, or five of your silly "pounds", not 25-40

2. You have no idea how to convert anything into anything do you? 2,400 msp equals $30 USD or about 15 pounds, not 20-25 pounds ($40 to $50 USD)

3. In a decent country like America we can use the internet we pay for as much as we like, there is no limit. Anybody who would actually pay for something as retarded as limited internet is what you would call a "ninny", and should be dragged into the street and shot

Go play your homosexual cricket you "sh.ite", and stop bashing everything Microsoft does because Sony didn't do it first
