Lara Swings Onto Xbox Live Marketplace
Give Ms Croft a ride right now, and while you're at it, get yourself some pics of her in both virtual and real forms.
Tired of waiting to give Lara's latest adventure a go? Reprieve is at hand. Eidos has revealed a panoply of content that is coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace in the few remaining days before her new game, Tomb Raider: Legend, hits stores.
The buxom archaeologist's latest exploits, courtesy of series creator Toby Gard and her new development team at Crystal Dynamics, will be free to try via an Xbox 360 demo that hit the Xbox Live Marketplace this past Tuesday. And if it's love at first sight, there's plenty more for you to download.
In addition to the playable demo and a full trailer, Eidos has also put up picture packs featuring both the new-look Lara and her real-life counterpart, Karima Adebibe. You'll even be able to update the look of your console's front-end with downloadable themes.
To get all these goodies, visit the Xbox Live Marketplace now. Perhaps that'll be enough to tide you over until the game's release on 11 April in North America and this Friday, 7 April, across Europe.
