Tomb Raider from Crystal Dynamics is coming out for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in just over a week. This gritty reboot of Tomb Raider franchise is supposed to take a deep look into the origin story of the well known Lara Croft character. The focus is supposed to be what made Lara such a hard core, treasure finding, bad ass that she turned out to be in the other Tomb Raider Games.

Guide to Survival Episodes
The Guide to Survival Episodes are short videos that go over the actual gameplay mechanics of the upcoming Tomb Raider game. One of the most interesting aspects these videos talk about is the upgrading mechanic with the base camp situation. Points are earned by completing missions, exploring or doing combat things that will unlock new skills. These skills will build Lara into the adventurer we all know and love. Check out the trailers below for a better understanding on the upgrade mechanics.
