With the new Retro Gamer mag about Lara Croft and the game trade with Fallguy40 for Tomb Raider Underworld I have been experiencing a Tomb Raider revival lately. So I am seriously considering buying the new downloadable game - Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Right now it is only available on the 360 I think - but it will soon be available on PSN too (if it isn't already).
So.... I was just wondering a) do you guys have any interest in downloading this game (if you've even heard of it) and moreso, what DLC have you purchased?
I haven't downloaded much myself. So far on the PS3 I have downloaded the add-on map packs for Uncharted 2 (definitely worth it) and the freebie (at the time) Rag Doll Kung Fu (not very good). For the XBOX360 I have downloaded Limbo and Trials HD - both excellent.
How about you guys?

I've seen some screen shots of the new Tomb Raider game. It looks pretty good. I've always been a fan of the series so I'll probably try it out. Have you started that Tomb Raider game I sent you?
I've bought tons of games and DLC. I've gotten more from PS+ but here's what I can remember that I've actually bought:
Tomb Raider I Tomb Raider II Twisted Metal II Metal Gear Solid COD IV: both map packs COD World at War: all three map packs COD Modern Warfare 2: the first map pack Fallout 3: Broken Steel and Point Lookout Little Big Planet: Metal Gear Solid, Pirates of the Caribbean and Marvel Comics expansions + assorted costumes Batman Arkham Asylum: the free challenge rooms Joe Danger High Velocity Bowling Fat Princess MLB the Show: Classic ballparks Uncharted 2: expansion maps and modes Beatles Rock Band: a few songs Rock Band 2: a few songs Singstar: more songs Motorstorm: new tracks Assassins Creed 2: the two missing Memory levels BurnoutParadise: the free expansions Burnout Legends Gottlieb Pinball Hall of Fame Crash Commando

To be more accurate, that was a list of dlc I've either bought or got for free not including the PS+ stuff. Oh, there was one expansion to Burnout that I paid for that was a stunt island. Don't remember the name.

I checked on the ps3 release date for guardian of light. September 28. It's out right now on 360 but the co-op mode doesn't work yet. It won't be available on 360 until the PS3 release date. PS3 release is the full game with co-op included.

oh OK well then if you are considering buying it too then I'll definitely just wait for the PS3 one to come out if I get it so we can try the co-op. I knew you had bought a lot more DLC than I had. So no Wii-ware or virtual console stuff?

No, I never tried the Wii DLC. They have a lot of stuff for virtual console.

I tried out the demo for Lara Croft: Guardian of Light. It's pretty good. A lot better than I expected. The new camera perspective works just fine. I was wondering what I would think of it but no problems at all.
Give it a try.
Have you tried out Tomb Raider Underworld yet? Didn't know if you wanted to play that first before starting this game.

Oh yeah, add COD Modern Warfare 2 map pack 2 to my DLC list. It's a much better map pack than the first one. You get an amusement park (my favorite), an oil refinery, a trailer park, and the classic Vacant and District maps from COD4.

I plan on getting it. I heard great things and comparisons were made to robotron with the mechanic and it's got co-op coming - sounds like a easy decision to buy. I might download the demo, but if I don't I'll just take the plunge. Nope, I haven't started Underworld yet. I've been so busy at work I haven't had time to play any games for any length of time so I just do a few minutes here and there with old stuff or the arcade. I'm not too concerned about playing Underword before GOL. I can play either one whenever.

I can see the Robotron comparison.

It's been awhile so I thought I'd update my DLC/PSN games acquisitions:
Hustle Kings: bought it for $5 (thanks to a 50% off sale for PS+ users). Great pool game. Very impressed with it. has online play.
Shatter: Breakout-style game with some new twists. Got it for free with PS+. Not bad.
Critter Crunch: a really fun puzzle game that was free with PS+.
Burn Zombie Burn: another free game from PS+. Your basic swarming zombies game. seems fun but haven't played it too much.
Red Read Redemption Undead Nightmare: bought the DLC for 1/2 off (PS+ sale) for future play. Decided to go ahead and get it while it was one sale.
Zen Pinball: free with PS+. It's a pinball game. All the tables are originals. Pretty fun but I think I prefer the Gottlieb collection on the PSP.
Sackboy's Prehistoric Move: free for PS+ users. Requires a Move controller so I haven't played it yet.
Mushroom Wars: tower defense strategy game. not bad for free.
I think that's it. PS+ has also given out several Mini games but I haven't messed with them much.
Speaking of PS+: I got a beta code today for the LittleBigPlanet 2 online beta so I'll be messing around with that.l

If I got the PS+ now would that allow me to go back and get all those games for free too or would it just start with new ones and go from there?

yeah that's what I figured - makes sense. How much is that again? See? If you hadn't deleted your blog I could go back and check your post on it!!

You can sign up for like $50 per year or in 3 month blocks. not sure what the 3 month cost is. I'm not sure it would be worthwhile for you as you don't seem to use your PS3 as much as you used to.
