Really? I thought the first two Tomb Raider games were cutting edge at the time, and were one of the reasons I went out and bought a Playstation.

My other two in the trilogy of must have games back than was Resident Evil and Legacy of Kain. 

btw both Tomb Raider 1 and 2 sold a combined 15 million copies for the Playstation 1.

That's outstanding when you think it was bought with 1990s money.

I think videogame movies are were like comic book movies were for a long time. Just mediocre. They haven't had their Nolan Batman Trilogy or Marvel Universe kind of movies yet.

They will though eventually.

My money is on Nintendo getting some decent movies made of their top characters.

Nintendo has always been like Marvel in away, and I could see them demanding top quality movies in the future.

IMHO.

The Nintendo Select is amazing. Zelda has made me forget about my PS4 games.

The Playstation 1 was kind of like a cool transistion from comics. Early 90s had the Image guys leave Marvel and DC Superman dying than I felt I had outgrown comics, as I felt burnt out around 1994-95 with all that speculator 90s comics dreck coming out. Along came Playstation 1 with Resident Evil for me and lots of other people from that generation to give us a new hobby that was as cool as comic books.

Yep, Resident Evil has to be the holy grail for why most people bought the Playstation 1.

Watched TR yesterday and I found it ok, something to watch and that was all

Walton Goggins aka Lee Russell from Vice Principals was the villain, its different seeing him do a serious role, usually enjoy his comical side

You've never seen him in Justified?

You should see Goggins's desperate acting in 6 seasons of The Shield available on DVD or download.

Outstanding show. Solid character, where he was a villain but someone you felt bad for due to his upbringing. Between this and The Shield he stood out. Which with the latter, there were quite a few solid actors.

Haven't seen the new one yet....so this isn't a comment on NEW vs OLD. But basically Angelina Jolie in her prime put butts in the seats, 90% of America has no idea who Alicia Vikander is
