About 5 hours into Tomb Raider

[Black Diamond Vol]

I thought it was going to be disappointing at first, because there were way too many cinematics and QTEs for my liking.  But after 60-90 minutes, they pretty much turn you loose and it gets really good.  Gameplay-wise, they've taken some of the best elements of Assassin's Creed, Resident Evil, Gears of War, and Barman Arkham City, and rolled them into one game.  And the story is pretty good so far, too.

I'm having a blast.  I want to keep going but Ava got sleepy and she made me swear not to play anymore until she could continue watching.  :-)  It's so much fun playing with her watching and she really helps this old man!  But the game is fantastic.  It's a helluva ride!
