Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Square Enix
Crystal Dynamics
Adventure
Release: Sep 28, 2010
The creators from Square Enix decided to take a different turn in Tomb Rider franchise by releasing The Guardian Of Light. This is not typical third person adventure as we were used to see starting with series for PS One. This one reminds me the upcoming title Diablo III which will be released.... someday I guess. 

This game is best played in cooperative multiplayer mode with a friend but you won't be disappointed playing it alone either. After all, it's all about shooting zombies in a face and puzzle solving winch you can do all alone.

It has a support for a game pad so you can play it with simulation software if you don't have one made by Microsoft. I had some issues with D-pad when using inventory so I had to use mouse from time to time. I am not sure if it's a bug but this small issue did not ruined my experience and I completed this game in  a few days.

Score: 8/10

ESRB: Mature
Well that is a really well balanced game between slicing your foes with a large variety of weapons and mind bending puzzle solving. 

This game has so much to offer. It keeps you interested all the way to the end by introducing more gear and equipment as you progress. This new variety of gadgets not just gives you more ways to kill your enemies but also unlocks new hidden paths which were unreachable earlier. You will probably want to to travel back to earlier stages of he game and collect that stuff.

I managed to finish this game in about 18 hours but you can prolong it if you decide to find all artifacts and secret chests. You can also rush this game but I strongly recommend not to do so.

This game supports Xbox 360 controller as well as emulation software for that purpose.

Evaluation: 9/10
