Lara's On Her Own

If you've been purchasing the games in the Xbox LIVE Summer (Winter) of Arcade for all the great online multiplayer they offer, then you might want to hold off on the last release. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is the final game to be released in the Summer of Arcade (in about two weeks time) and has been getting many players excited for its co-op gameplay. There's just one problem. Crystal Dynamics have announced that the online co-op WON'T come with the game. You'll still be able to play local co-op and of course, single player, but if you're wanting to play with other friends over Xbox LIVE then you'll have to wait until September when the online co-op gets released via a patch. Crystal Dynamics announced the delay for multiplayer saying they wanted to make sure the online experience was the best it could be before releasing it and also announcing the game will have 5 pieces of DLC (that's Downloadable Lara Croft). 3 Pieces will feature new levels and fresh puzzles, while the last two will take main characters Lara and Totec out of the game and replace them with other "well known video game characters". If none of this bothers you then you can still look forward to the August 18th release and a price tag of 1200 Points.
