Ezio Auditore da Firenze

The first Tomb Raider was a family expierence in my household too. My dad, brother, sister and I would all take turns when someone else died and spend ages discussing how to solve each puzzle.

I too quite liked the control scheme. It seemed to lend a real weight to your actions. Who in the same situation would just blindly run around jumping willy nilly? You'd take the time to line it up and make sure you had enough room to build up speed.

Sure it feels silly but it makes a lot of sense too.

One of my favourite games of all the time for so many reasons.
Great article and thanks for making me think back on some good memories :)

Worth a go :P

I'd have bought Culdcept Saga in an instant if they released it over here >_>

Got Dark Sector after a friend recommend it but I've not played it yet.

Tomb Raider Anniversary is an awesome game that I think everyone should play, but I'm a TR fanboy :P

Why does it say Splinter Cell 2002-2006? There's a new game coming out this year >_>

Also I wish they would make a new Sly Raccoon game, loved that series.

Ah Dizzy, that takes me back.
Those games are classics.

People who remember the Dizzy series have been saying for years that it'd make a great GBA/DS games and yet still Codemasters does nothing.

Shame really, grew up playing those games on the ole Spectrum

@GamesRadarJustinTowell: My main point about getting another DS before a DSI would simply be because I imagine the DS will become quite cheap once the DSI is on the market.

I don't know if Nintendo plans to fade it out or whatever.

A slightly larger and sharper screen would be nice though, no denying that :P

None of that really jumps out at me as any kind of important feature for a portable games console.

I expect these kind of gimmicky features from my phone, which has two cameras, MP3 playback and a web browser but the only thing I use, or want to use my DS for is playing games.

Being able to download games directly from the Shop might be useful but I think if my DS snuffs it I'll be buying another DS well before I buy a DSI.

Liquid Snake and Simba are the same person, or thing, or whatever?

AWESOME! :P

Ah shoot!
I knew I should have visited GR earlier in the week >_<

I think I put too much in Charisma to start with really, I found it didn't have as much affect on Barter and Speech as I thought it would.

Still it's cool, it's a learning process.
It's fun to tweak your character and see what happens.

I was smart enough to stick my Medicine and Repair skills nice and high but neglected Lockpick because of the negative Karma.

Fortunetly I realised how important it was after just a few levels and now it's around the 90 mark.

I quite like the Energy Weapons but I find there simply aren't enough of them around to make it worthwhile putting points into it.

Excellent guide.
I'm about level 17 with my first character and yeah, I went for all the +5 skill Perks >_<

Looking forward to making an evil character, being nice is all right but sometimes you just gotta be bad :P

Also...first >_>
