    Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Has Incredible Potential, but Modern Additions Like Skill Trees and Hand-Holding Risk Undermining What Made the Original Great (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The first thing that strikes you upon seeing the new Tomb Raider live-demoed on a massive 115” TV mere inches from your face, I can attest, is its visual fidelity: Legacy of Atlantis is absurdly pretty. Crammed with fine detail enough that every particle of dust and bat guano flitting through the stale air poses danger to your airways, it almost feels like it’s supposed to be funny when compared to the chunky textures and pointy polygons of the 32-bit original. The game’s director Raul Siqueira

    GTA 5’s Most Unhinged Protagonist Was a Bold Statement Against the Franchise’s Biggest Critics and Haters (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Obsidian and Bethesda are two beloved RPG studios that complement each other beautifully, in the vein of all the classic double acts. Lennon and McCartney. Beer and nuts. Britain and Post-War Decline. By 2021, Xbox had acquired them both, which led many of us to believe that the holiest of holy grails was now on the cards: a proper follow-up to New Vegas, the acclaimed Obsidian developed Fallout spin-off that brought the series back to its wild west roots, while keeping and expanding upon the gr

    Why a 45-Second Sniper Mission Remains One of the Most Important Moments in Gaming History (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Few missions in GTA’s history would make such a big and noticeable change to the geography of the host city as Bomb Da Base Act II, which goes some way to explaining why all 45 seconds of this short, sharp, Tin Can Alley sniper mission remains so memorable. By today’s standards it’s extraordinarily simple: in a world where there are entire games built around the sophisticated premise of telescopic sharpshooting, GTA 3’s 45-second dalliance with the idea hardly seems like anything to write home a
