Tomb Raider: Underworld sales are picking up

tombraideruderworlda5

Launch sales for Tomb Raider: Underworld may not have been so hot, but the title is quickly picking up steam.

Eidos’s slow-starter has currently outsold the last two additions to the franchise over the same time period, and the publisher expects the game to move beyond Tomb Raider: Legend ‘s 4.5 million sales.

The two bits of DLC won’t hurt, either.

So they threw that hissy fit for nothing then?

Looks like it. Hopefully this will stop them doing that ridiculous Batman reboot they were planning.

On the down side, it may convince them that shooting millions of little spiders every 30 seconds is actually a good idea.

TRU is not bad, but it’s nothing special. It’s got loads of bugs/glitches, many of which were fixed when Beneath the Ashes was released, but getting stuck in the scenery is still a problem.

it’s a bit short I thought.

and the only glitches I’ve experienced were when Lara sometimes stuck near trees etc. I never had any of the other ones, like that Xhibalaba thing not moving.
