Lara Croft Returns!....?

Tomb Raider
EIDOS revealed the new adventure of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: Legend . This is one of my favorite games although I just played Tomb Raider V through. I knew the game from the Tomb Raider I . But I started getting interested on it from Tomb Raider IV. Thanks to the powerful PC system, the looking and moving of Lara became more cooler. The environment in the game was far more beautiful then before. More puzzles, and they were interesting too. Since then, I began running after the game. I must admit that I'm not a superfan. I play less, but I want to know more about the news of Tomb Raider. I dont have too much time to play, I did not finish TR IV .The TR V was not that difficult. Then the TR VI disappointed me for the controlling is "improved", "getting close to the real world". I could not get used to it. And I could not feel the myth aura in it too. Now here comes the TR VII, which is said to return to tombs. The original studio of TR series has gone. The new team called Crystal Dynamics reshaped Lara's look. I don't like the new face much infact. But anyway, the new TR is expectant.

Take a look at the screenshots:

Joystick The Pal

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

It was bought in the summer of 1997 or 1998 by me and the other 3 of my friends - B,Z and C. I can't remember the exact time. We were having fun of a game called Fury 3D, a flight & shooting game. After playing the game with a joystick I borrowed from my neighbor, we decided to buy one. We didn't have enough money though. We put our money together and there were 100 total. It was merely enough for a non-brand joystick with simple function. After trying that one, we found it hard to use. I couldn't endure while the others felt ok with that. I was so obstinate that I paid extra RMB98 to buy the one in the photo. I saved the money by not buying breakfast for near 3 months. It felt good when using this joystick. But after that, there was little game which could drive us that crazy. So the joystick was kept in the box and had not been used for a very long time, 6 or 7 years.
