The rebooted Tomb Raider franchise hits both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles in fall 2012.

Written by Nathan Evans (managing editor)

 

The second of the overlong trailers that played during Microsoft's press conference was the reboot of the long-running Tomb Raider franchise, and while its certainly getting a cinematic overhaul, let's hope there's more to the actual gameplay than simply holding the analog stick forward and occasionally pressing the action triggers. I can see why some have dubbed this Lar-Charted (i.e. Lara Croft x. Uncharted), as it looks strikingly like Naughty Dog's popular Uncharted series.

This new and (hopefully) improved Tomb Raider is slated to hit both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 fall of 2012.
