[-PSX-]

Hopefully with this new business venture they will be able to drop the whole Lara Croft franchise as it seems since Tomb Raider 3 the series has being steadily descending down a hill. When Tomb Raider 4 was released it looked like Lara had been spending half her time in a cosmetics surgery rather than putting her best make up on. It was the same with TR5: Chronicles and TR6 was just blunt and pointless. Lara was once a very popular person in games from the ever popular 2 and 3 but sadly the Smiths really have to drop her now. It is time to let go of this franchise by the single fingr they are holding onto it with and fall into a new world of adventure/action.

Hopefully the new studio will not be producting any more Tomb Raider games and instead put the next few years into creating a new game. Original, fun and with a new hero. They may be able to evolve thos staggering slaes that they are achieving at present by doing this. Personally I will not be buying any more TR games after 6. Hopefully they may come up with something better - like Hideo did with MGS, R* with Max Payne. This is their big chance to make the name that was once thought of so fondly and drag themselves back up the hill. At least if they have as much faith in themselves as I do.
