After reading this it makes me appreciate the game even more

Tomb Raider is spectacular. I love it. But after reading this Final Hours I appreciate even more due to all the terrible ideas Crystal Dynamics was considering. First, they intended to make Tomb Raider a horror game with giant monsters and to give Lara a horse to travel the island with. Thankully, the writer Rhianna Patchet was brought on board to build the mythology that was ultimately used in the game.

Also, this ebook is beautiful. I have the one for Portal 2 and it's impressive. This is the magazine of the future. There's video, slideshows, links to the script, never before been footage of early concept of the game (with prototypes of said monsters and horse), it's fun to read. Plus the story itself is a good yarn. Crystal Dynamics did an amazing job with this game and the story behind it is worth checking out.

Glad someone out there enjoys it as much as I do.
