Who out there thinks this has to be the best game ever produced for a long time? I am 35% through it and it just keeps giving. Gameplay and graphics are exceptional. An example would be if you compare it to Farcry 3 it makes that look clunky and boring in comparison imho.

Haha..Getting pole through the neck to the top of her skull going down the river fall do you mean?   Most of her demises are pretty awful and you get to see them several times until you work it out. Dam good game worth every penny.

I played through on Xbox a few weeks ago. It was really great. The story takes a bit of a turn about halfway through and I'm not sure I was comfortable with all of it, but in the end it was a great Tomb Raider game. I just wish the ending had a bit more to it. I finished with 100% completion too :)

Yep, great game with tension and fantastic visuals. Games/graphics have come a long way.
Best game for 2013-----Sure thing.

That's a big call. I haven't played T.R 2013 but Bioshock Infinite is pretty slick, and from the video reviews I'd say BI would have an edge in both graphics and depth of story.

How can you say that if you have not played it? This game is way ahead of any game out there ATM in its genre. Plus its very well optimized for PC which can't be said fro many titles of late.

I thought it was slightly above average, played it through twice now. 

6/10.
