Awesome reviews scores and fantastic Origin deal for Tomb Raider!

If you missed the internet yesterday, that’s probably the only way you won’t have seen the buzz around next week’s launch of Tomb Raider! It's hit new heights as the embargo for reviews lifted and scores started popping up from your favourite media sites all around the world.

The good news is that, overwhelmingly, people love the game. Even better news (for PC gamers at least) is that we can also now reveal a stunning deal for the game on Origin, where you can get the Survival Edition for the same price as the Standard Edition!

First up, let’s deal with the Origin details. The full list of goodies you’ll get for your normal game price in the Survival Edition is:

  • Tomb Raider Full Game PLUS
  • DLC Pack Scavenger Scout
  • DLC Pack Pistol Burst
  • DLC Pack Aviatrix Skin
  • Digital 32p artbook
  • Digital Soundtrack
  • Digital 2-sided map
  • Digital Comic
  • Hitman: Absolution weapons pack 1
  • DLC Pack "Guerilla Skin"

And you’ll get all that for the amazing price of £29.99/€49.99/$49.99.

If, even after that, you’re still on the fence – here’s a selection of reassuring reaction from games media sites around the world:

IGN: 9.1 out of 10 – “A new beginning for Lara Croft that does justice to one of gaming's most iconic characters”

EDGE: 8 out of 10 – “If the purpose of a reboot is to redefine a character and set them up for the future, then this is a job well done”

Execellent review scores. As if there was ever any doubt.
Why does the wait have to be so long?? :( Would have been nice to have played it same time as the reviewers as the reviews aren't needed to know if this game will be any good or not :P Build a time machine instead of whatever the next big hit is. That way we can get the games sooner :P
Watch this too, had me laughing out loud so much lol!
