Tomb Raider, released in March 2013, is an Action Adventure Platform game developed by Crystal Dynamics and is a reboot/origin story of the legendary English archaeologist Lara Croft.  I rented the PS3 version from Game Access, though I hear the PC version has substantially better graphics, the PS3 version wasn’t bad at all.

Hitman Absolution is a stealth action adventure game developed by IO Interactive, and follows Agent 47 as he tracks down a girl and kills a lot of people along the way.  I rented the PS3 version from Game Access instead of buying it but after playing it, I would definitely buy it for PC at some point in the future during a Steam sale. I had not played much of the previous 4 games, I played most of the first Hitman but it was really frustrating which is probably because I was…read more
