Récemment sorti sur bon nombre de supports, le nouvel opus des Tomb Raider n’a pas rencontré le succès escompté lors de sa sortie, la faute très certainement à une période vidéoludique surchargée.

Das Comeback von Lara Croft ist der Hammer. Das darf man in diesem Fall doppeldeutig verstehen. Das neueste Abenteuer der berühmtesten Archäologin der Spielegeschichte sieht toll aus, ist rundum gelungen - und bietet nie gesehene Bilder aus der nordischen Mythologie.

IsmĂŠt komoly bajban van a szebb napokat is megĂŠlt SCi. A Tomb Raider ĂŠs a Hitman franchise jogaival bĂrĂł fejlesztĂľbrigĂĄd elkĂŠpzelhetĂľ, hogy kiadĂłt vĂĄlt.

Wii Play, 09. Guitar Hero: World Tour, 10. Resistance 2.
