Tomb Raider isn't really going to blow your socks off with story, but it's light-years above past Tomb Raider games in that department (if not every department). Definitely worth playing, great game (in spite of some annoying QTE nonsense).
I can't
stand quick-time events, due to never actually enjoying made-for-console games, so that will definitely make me steer clear of the new Tomb Raider...
I have Aquaria installed on my phone and have played a bit of it... It's interesting. I get a heavy Echo the Dolphin feel from it, which is cool, but it didn't really grab me. I'll get back to it one of these days when I'm bored away from the house in a waiting room or something (it's only a matter of time before somebody gets sick or dies, I suppose).
Yeah, I kind of got that vibe too, at first, but after getting further into Aquaria a bit, I realized it's
nothing like Echo.
Also,
funny thing about Echo the Dolphin... A while back, we converted one of the old bedrooms in the house into an "arcade room", with the goal of ONLY finding arcade games to put in there that:
1.) Were fun for all ages, and
2.) Stood the test of time.
So, to make a long story short, we were searching for an Echo cabinet for about 6 years, until we FINALLY were able to obtain one, and it needed
major repairs. We ended up paying about
twice as much to repair it as it cost to
buy the cabinet in the first place (which *normally* would have been completely fine)...
...only to realize that we
already had a "Best of Sega" cabinet with not
one, but BOTH of the original Echo games.
