Gee, I lost interest as soon as I saw it was tied to Challenges, but I have learned to never say never.

I'll agree about the Challenges detriment.

As I started to read I said to myself, "hmmm I wonder where the Chalenge tie-in is" I continued and quickly closed the page. It seems some others have the same opinion.

But you can't blame them for attempting to promote the activity. After all it was the head Lackey's idea.

(Mike, not Sheryl) have played the Tomb Raider games for years (although not that well). What was great was when it started. Instead of being a run-around-and-shoot-everything type of game like everything else, you got to explore different areas, find well-hidden treasures and solve puzzles, and shoot only had the occasional coyote.

Then it turned to being a game like everything else, where Lara had to do more killing, and less exploring.

Heard this LAteST version is supposed to get away from the bullets-flying bloodshed. But instead of returning to exploration and discovery, it's supposed to be about survival in the middle of nowhere with nothing.

So maybe these Challenges will be something like "Get mauled by a bear. Find something in the woods to stop the bleeding. Take a pic."

Caches finally mentioned. Via Jeremy's Facebook page.

Wasn't the original Tomb Raider a text only, or mostly text, game? My brother in law played this early on.

It's not the size of my cache that matters, but the way it adds to your mystery.
