In Rise of the Tomb Raider, professional adventuress Lara Croft is back for revenge.

Lara Croft Is a Total Badass Lara Croft is one of the all-time greatest gaming heroines – and she’s at her best in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Her story is more involved; her character...
Almost as soon as your crawl your aching bones out of the vault and into the Commonwealth wasteland of Fallout 4, you’ll need to start blasting, punching, baseball-batting, and generally kick-butting your way through all sorts of enemies. At first, you’ll be able to get by with the standard fare: 10mm pistols, clubs, and such – but if you want to go toe to toe with some seriously pissed-off super mutants, you’re going to need to pump your guns up. That’s where the crafting system comes in. Now, to craft properly, you’re going to need a few things. First, you’ll...

We are extremely delighted to announce and launch Spelunker World in North America today for free! More than thirty years ago, an 8-bit game Spelunker emerged — where the main character braved the depths of a deep and dark cave encountering bats and obstacles in the search for treasure. After the critical success of “Minna de Spelunker Z” in Japan, we are proud to announce that Spelunker World is available exclusively for PS4 starting today.
Let’s begin by checking out the trailer and digging into the story!
There was once a Spelunker who dared to brave the caverns of the world despite his frail body. After discovering the location of a cave which held legendary treasure, he equipped himself for whatever might lie ahead and journeyed within. Alas, he never returned…
Intrepid adventurer Lara Croft has undergone several transformations since her 1996 debut. These days, she’s more of an embattled survivalist than a smug, confident explorer who waltzes right into an ancient tomb, guns a-blazing. While 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot focused on reshaping the woman at the center of the franchise and making her more relatable and realistic, Rise of the Tomb Raider is most significant in the ways that developer Crystal Dynamics has tweaked the moment-to-moment gameplay. This time around, Lara won’t simply pull out her flaming bow and arrow and unleash fiery destruction from above when she’s in a...
