For some time there, things weren’t looking too good for Lara.

Feeling unfinished and cluttered with ideas never delivered upon, Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness heralded the death of what many thought to be a franchise that had gone far past its prime. The game that was meant to be the triumphant return of Miss Croft was instead more death knell, than anything else.

It would be up to the developers at Crystal Dynamics, best known for the Legacy of Kain series, to reinvent the property. Toby Gard, Lara's original character designer who had left the franchise after the first title, was invited to return and lend his expertise as a creative consultant to the new chapter. Now, a few years thereafter, the question stands: Is this the start of a new Legend, or the epitaph for the series?

Tomb Raider: Legends was explored on the XBOX 360 and PC by Reggie Demon.
