Tomb Raider: Anniversary - "Dev. Diary 3"

Level designers, Jim Conrad and Kyle Mannerberg shed some light on their puzzle design approach for the new Tomb Raider: Anniversary as we bring you the third installment in our Tomb Raider: Anniversary dev diary series.

"In 1996, the original Tomb Raider was launched. The 3D game design, controls and graphics were truly ground breaking for their time. Furthermore, gamers were also presented with a unique, female human playable character with which they could become emotionally attached, Lara Croft. The original Tomb Raider sold over seven million copies and is still heralded as an absolute classic and one of the best action adventure games ever. Tomb Raider defined the PlayStation and changed the way that people played games.

In tribute to this and to celebrate and commemorate the continuing development of the Tomb Raider franchise and its central character, Crystal Dynamics are developing a new Tomb Raider adventure for Lara. Inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game; Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary faithfully preserves the elements which made the original Tomb Raider game such a classic.

Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology and physics bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

Tomb Raider follows the adventures of Lara Croft after she is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. After discovering that she has been used as a pawn in some larger scheme, Lara takes matters into her own hands deciding that she must uncover the mystery behind this ancient artefact."

Release: June 2007

actually,they are Centaurus!and they are very easy to kill!

First:When they stare at you with that green glow that petrifyes you:u just crouch or look elsewere.

Second:when they charge:go backwords until they raise the shields up,then use the grapple(q) and the quiklly pres the use the pull(e)

Third:Just shoot and dodge until they die.

Hope something of this worked!
