Crystal Dynamics confirms new Lara Croft three-pack; PlayStation 3 compilation due out next year to include HD Legend, Anniversary, as well as Underworld.
Just two weeks ago the veil was lifted on action heroine Lara Croft’s latest reboot adventure. Now, the wily and nimble adventurer will star in another nostalgic release next year.
According to a tweet from Crystal Dynamics’ global brand manager Karl Stewart, the Tomb Raider Trilogy–exclusive to the PlayStation 3–will bundle rereleases of Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider: Anniversary and will also include 2008’s Tomb Raider: Underworld. This pack will be Legend and Anniversary’s first HD releases on Sony platforms, though both were initially released on the Xbox 360 in 2006 and 2007, respectively.
The combo pack was first outed by Amazon Germany, which said that all three titles will include PlayStation Network trophies, as well as male and female avatars for use in PlayStation Home, a virtual space that recently soared to 17 million users. According to the listing, the Tomb Raider Trilogy will arrive on March 22, 2011. However, Crystal Dynamics has only confirmed that the pack will arrive “next year.”
The pack will join the trilogy ranks of the Sly Collection, which released on November 9, as well as the rumored Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell trilogy packs.

Both better looking and deeper.
Square Enix’s PSP remaster of Final Fantasy IV may be the best version yet, judging by a brand new website for the game.
Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection bundles Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, according to Andriasang’s translation – a direct sequel that was released in pieces on mobile phones and, eventually, WiiWare.
On PSP these games have been spruced up and now boast 16×9, widescreen visuals; the CGI movies from FFIV on DS; and an all-new scenario to fill the transition gap between the two games.

UK hospice receives tech to help disabled kids.
Children’s charity SpecialEffect has opened a dedicated accessible games suite the first of its kind at a UK hospice, helping youngsters enjoy videogames regardless of physical disabilities.
The purpose-built facility at Helen and Douglas House in Oxfordshire offers a range of accessible gaming devices, from switches to eye-control, with staff receiving specialised training to maximise the positive impact of the technology.
The launch is a major milestone in the charity’s Game For Helen project, named after a regular visitor to the hospice, a young girl with a rare metabolic disorder that prevents her from controlling her body well enough to use traditional gaming controllers.
