Tomb Raider (1996)

Honestly, if you don't know what Tomb Raider is by now, it'd be like trying to explain how you breathe. It's a game, and a series, that's been part of gaming for so long, relatively speaking, it's practically a myth. So we'll skip the in depth analysis of the rather light plot and get straight…

Master Reboot Interview

What happens when a mobile game dev jumps to the PC to play with the bigboy toys? That's a question that Wales Interactive were asking themselves not so very long ago.
