Yeah, let's do this, baby! We keep on trucking here on Rate the Game despite the heat and the sketchiness of the forum's performance. It's bound to come to an end soon, no? Well, in the meantime, we've got things to keep us occupied. Our loved ones, our jobs, and of course, video games. Last week we dealt with the reboot of the Tomb Raider series. The question posed was whether or not it could fare any better than the original game, which has languished at the bottom of our leaderboard. The time has come, now that we have passed judgment, to determine where the new Tomb Raider shall fall on that same list. Show us the goods...
A respectable 3.75 average score puts the new Lara Croft in a position of scraping at the door of that tremendous territory of the 4s and greater. At number 65, her game appears to have had enough chops to win some respect over here, but it's a far cry from the creme de la creme.
The games we've been getting in recent weeks have been acquiring some pretty decent scores. Can that streak continue? We need only go to the bowl for the answer to that question....
Ta-da! It's time that we go back to the past days of the Nintendo 64 and explore another key franchise of the company behind it. It's time we suit up and take flight one more time with Fox McCloud and company as we examine the 64-bit follow up to Star Fox...uh, Star Fox 64. We didn't get a Star Fox 2 (well, not for a loooooong time, that is) so this had to suffice at the time. How worthy of a successor was this game to the original? It's time to do a barrel roll and share our thoughts on this sucker. What do you all have to say about it? Let's do the rating thing and we'll see you next week!
No matter what may happen to me, just remember Lzzy Hale gave me the bedroom eyes...
