Having dispatched with a couple of troublesome Raptors, Lara finds herself on the run from an oddly polygonal Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Can I do it in Anniversary?
Oh yes. The T-Rex battles will be Anniversarys action core.
2) The Swan Dive
Lara calmly walks to the edge of the cliff, then - with surprising grace for one so unaerodynamically designed - swan dives into the clear blue water below. Its a stunning moment.
Can I do it in Anniversary?
Yes you will. Expect arching,

With retail-released adventure games in short supply these days, were often forced to look to the indie scene for solace and fulfillment, though admittedly theyre still a rare gem to find.

Last year's Dark Messiah promised - as have many others - to revolutionize combat in the RPG format. What it did was provide great cast-and-slash action. Decapitations felt deserved, magic was enjoyable and sometimes cleverly used, and the game took the concept of environmental weaponry to its absurd conclusion. The first thing you'd do when you entered a room was look for a chandelier tied precariously to the ceiling or barrels on a curiously high shelf. But if you're thinking about taking a

At the same event we got a chance to sit down with the game's producer Zack Wood, who answered all of the burning questions we had after our short play-through. Here's what he had to say...

We thought we quit playing World of Warcraft and could continue enjoying sleep and occasionally coming into contact with the suns rays. But we were wrong.

As PC gamers, it's great watching the console boys try to show off. High-definition? Big deal. We were playing Quake III at 1280x1024 resolution almost a decade ago. Online gaming? Were so net-savvy we dont even know what real people look like any more. Movie downloads? Youre preaching to the Bitorrenting choir.
Now the PC is about to undergo a radical change for the better. Every few years, our beloved platform casually becomes next generation, and it's about to happen again.
Over the next

Sometimes games contain little quirks or loopholes that we gamers can exploit to our advantage. We're not talking about cheats - just sweet spots or ways of doing things the programmers didn't expect you to try - or at least doubted you'd ever find.
We've selected seven of our faves - read about them first and then see them in action by hitting the Movies tab above, launching the video player, and finding "Top 7 Gaming Sweet Spots - 02-01-07." Some are bizarre - others are just brilliant. And
