    Oh, I like the M16 as well!

    Worst weapon: the harpoon.

    TR1 I played to death with my Dad, although we never actually finished it, we poured hours into that damn game on the PC. Pressing 6 keys to do a running jump forward with a grab at the end. Good times. I actually only finished this game recently, but it was still great.

    TR2 was a different story. Now, I am not great at these games, I will be the first to admit this, but damn this game was brutal. I never had any medipacks, and I was always at like 1/4 HP - so I save spammed the hell out of this game. I never had this issue with TR1 and I certainly am not having that issue with TR3, so I don't know.

    Currently getting through TR3 - just finishing up Nevada, I think. On to the rest of the levels!

    The Last Revelation and Chronicles will be soon to be played. They're up after TR3, imagine that.

    Angel of Darkness was, uh. Yeah. Not great. I FEEL STRONGER NOW. stfu woman and just climb or kick that door down. No need to power up your kick by kicking some other door, or holding on to some other ledge for 30 seconds. Ugh. Ugh. So buggy too. I was glad to see the back of this one, I got so mad so many times at various aspects of this game.

    Legend was fun. This was the first one I completed and I don't remember having too many issues with it. The sword at the end was brutally OP though. Ah, great times. I watched my friend play through this recently, and I just remembered having a great time with this one.

    Underworld is probably sitting just above AoD in terms of my Tomb Raider rankings. This was... not fun. Endlessly buggy (for me, at least - one example would be when I failed to get through a maze on the motorbike in enough time, and the game just decided that it would let me be trapped forever. I couldn't progress. I couldn't go back. I had to reload my game which took me ages back. I suppose one merit point is that it gave me the achievement for getting through the maze in record time despite not getting through the maze at all, although that's just another level to the bugs) and I couldn't find anything about it engaging. The only thing it had above AoD was that it didn't make me entirely rage out.

    TR 2013 I was a bit wary of, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and played it over the course of a few weekends. People claimed that it didn't feel like a Tomb Raider game, but I found that it had puzzles (although yes, on a smaller scale, which was disappointing), it had exploration, it had platforming, it had some really really stupid plot full of nonsense and mythology and nonsense. Which sounds like a TR game to me. xD I'm looking forward to where they take this from here.

    Guardian of Light is something I keep meaning to get round to. Might convince my friend or even Matt to coop it with me.

    Oh, yeah. I have Anniversary too. On the Wii. I was disappointed that the big T-Rex battle was QTEs instead of hide in an alcove and shoot as it runs past.

    I had a hard enough time with the jumping on a controller, I don't want to imagine how ridiculous it would have been with a keyboard.

    The T-Rex fight is a QTE? Lame!

    I second harpoon as worst Tomb Raider weapon.

    my nr.1 favorite weapon of Tomb Raider is the Dessert Eagle
    after that comes the m16 or the shotgun

    that reminds me.. i bought Tomb Raider 3 for the ps1 (to play on the ps3) a view years ago
    maybe i should pick it up again.

    last time i got horribly lost (or becaus of glitches) in the first level(s) and forced me to cheat my way to the next level..
    but there i couldnt get any further becaus i needed an item to get through, that i couldnt get in the previous level :l
    since then i have always played this game with a walkthrough >.<
