Raiding some tombs once more.

Started playing a bit of the Tomb Raider Trilogy on PS3, got through the first two stages of Legend and I realized that this game has not aged well at all. Combat is awful, with no way to take cover, no indication of grenade tosses and no melee. Worse yet, there are a number of graphical glitches; tonight I had to restart the entire second level due to Lara getting stuck onto a ledge. On the other hand, the platforming and movement is done very well and it's influence is seen in later games such as Assassins Creed and Uncharted. After the stiflingly restricted and slow movement of Cole Phelps in LA Noire, this felt like a breath of fresh air.

Actually, despite pretty much sucking at well, everything, one good thing LA Noire had going for it was the MotionScan technology. I'd love to see a Tomb Raider game that used Angelina Jolie's voice and likeness. It's pretty much the only movie role I ever liked her in.
