It may not seem much, but for those of you (like me) that bought Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light in the last Steam sale (for about £3.40), there is some new DLC available and one part of it is free. See the Steam page for more info and links.
I first saw this announced yesterday on Twitter (apologies for the late posting, so much to do…) and wondered what was so ‘exclusive’ about it since you can buy ‘HD’ versions of Tomb Raider Anniversary, Legend and Underworld for the Xbox 360, so it can’t be the games that are exclusive. Oh yeah, in the trilogy (another minor thing that makes it ‘exclusive’) pack, you also get a theme pack, the official Lara Croft female Home avatar outfit, the Viking Thrall male Home avatar outfit and a collection of “making of” trailers in HD for the entire series.

Uh oh, there’s that word… ‘Limited’ time eh, yes folks, you will only have 30 days to download the free ‘All the Trappings’ DLC which includes a brand new area to conquer and features a combination of puzzle, exploration and combat experiences, a...
If you didn’t already know, and if you’re a Lara Croft fan you’re probably playing it already, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light has been released on Steam and the PlayStation Network. “We can’t wait for PlayStation and PC gamers to get their hands on Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light,” said Darrell Gallagher, General Manager of Crystal Dynamics. “We’re committed to delivering the very best gameplay experience possible and the fact that this is the highest rated Lara Croft game since the original Tomb Raider was released back in 1996 is a testament to this. I would encourage everyone to try the free trial.”
In just over a week, you will be able to download Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light onto you Xbox 360 as part of the Summer of Arcade that for the first time players can play in two-player offline co-op and single player will feature a new isometric view. “DLC for us means Downloadable Lara Croft,” said Darrell Gallagher, General Manager of Crystal Dynamics. “It all begins in August with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light releasing on XBLA and runs through to the end of the year with the additional packs we will be offering. Oh and be prepared for a few surprises.”
