A tired Miss Croft reaches Egypt and the temple of Khamoon. She’s just spent ten minutes being kicked and exploded around the place by Centaurs.

Not visible - Lara firing a grappling hook into a hoop on the wall and running along it as I grin the grin of someone fondly remembering Sands Of Time.

The star of the show, that there Lara Croft lady. The characters are the weakest visual element so far, but I expect that’s at least partly a design decision. It avoids straying into the "uncanny valley" territory (which nobody needs in a celebratory remake of the first and probably best loved game in a franchise) and gives the cast a cartoony feel.

The other possibility is that it’s just down to budget or talent, but I prefer the friendlier explanation.

Ahh, trusty "Depth Of Field" makes this cavern even easier on the eye.

I can’t stop marvelling over the nice graphical touches. This whole scene looks quite lovely indeed, but on top of that you get out of the water with soaking wet clothes and skin (hell, you drip water and it flies off you if you start running) and everything dries over the next couple of minutes but in a gradual fashion, with the edges dry first on the top damp legs & shoes being the last to go.

The game is fun as well but damn there are some delightfully distracting visual effects.

I totally had to rewind time after the next leap… no wait, wrong game!

Insert your own innuendo here, incidentally. Filthy minded Flickr viewers, I tells you!

Some lady named Lara Croft (she’ll never catch on) partying like it’s 1996. Quite pretty so far.
