TOMB RAIDER : ANGEL OF DARKNESS (2003)Ĭoming in at number 10 is the game that is often held responsible for the downfall of original Tomb Raider developer Core Design and for good reason. The thrills of shooting a T-Rex in the face and the fear of missing a perfectly timed jump and the bliss of locking your bumbling butler in the walk-in freezer – Tomb Raider provides an experiences unparalleled in the genre.ġ0. One of the most successful franchises in gaming, Tomb Raider has had peaks and troughs with 12 mainline console games and numerous handheld and spin off titles, Lara has been through many different adventures and ranking my favourites is a difficult task. Over the course of 24 years Tomb Raider has been a pioneer of action adventure videogames and heroine Lara Croft has cemented herself as an icon.
