Free Stuff Friday - Tomb Raider: Anniversary

| 41 Comments
Tomb Raider: AnniversaryThis week's giveaway is Tomb Raider: Anniversary for PC.

If you played the first Tomb Raider game, this is essentially a remake on the awesome Crystal Dynamics engine that debuted with the Tomb Raider: Legend reboot of what had become a sad, tired series.

And if you've never played a Tomb Raider game, this is as good a place to start as any. Recent games in the series have been great, and this is a fitting tribute to the original that started it all.

Anniversary includes 14 story levels set in Peru, Greece, Egypt and a mysterious Lost Island, plus there's a Croft Manor training level replete with puzzles to solve. You can also speed run through the levels to get the best time trial ratings and unlock cheats such as infinite ammo.

To enter:

Simply post a comment on this page. Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.

You may also want to white list this domain; we've had several would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification! If you use TypeKey/TypePad, be sure your e-mail address will be shared. No e-mail address, no prize. (Don't worry, no one else will see it - and we'll only use it to contact you if you win.)

Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 5:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, October 8 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.

We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time. (If all goes well, there will be several prizes in the next week or so! Really!) 1) Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Free Stuff Bonus - Instant Win, we'll give you a fair warning tweet. 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.

We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and we will keep doing so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on this site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win!

While you're at it, post comments wherever you see something interesting. Also, if you get a game code you don't need or have some other cool game-related prize you want to donate, we'd be very grateful (we pay for most of this stuff ourselves!).

Check back each Friday to see what's next.

FIRST IS WORST - THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME I TYPED IT CAUSE OF DARN CAPTCHA!

2.

The only Tomb Raider I played on the PC was "The Lost Artifact". I then switched to "The Last Revelation" on the Dreamcast. These games have not aged well. It was a good idea to have the original game updated to the current engine.

3.

I think I played the very first Tomb Raider, and never again after that. This would be a great place to get back into it, now that I'm actually into gaming. I wasn't when I first tried it.

4.

Count me in. I've only played Tomb Raider 1 & 2, so I haven't any bad experiences with the series.

5.

Unfortunately the game gets a little more raggedy as it progresses, shifting increasingly from challenging to irritating. Parts of the game are very repetitive; in a section in which giant hammers destroy a bridge you must perform the same series of actions in several lookalike rooms. This is my personal review so i hope everyone should agree with me.

6.

I never played a Tomb Raider game, this would be cool to have :D

7.

I love my show, and tomb raider

8.

I would love to win a copy. I never really got to play many of the Tomb Raider games back in the day.

9.

18.

Hot chick running around in little clothing, my type of game.

19.

Sweet, looks good.

20.

I've only played a little bit of the 1st Tomb Raider, but that was on my Saturn. :) That's also the 1st system I played Resident Evil on as well for the record.

21.

I liked the demo for this game, but I never got around to buying it. I'll like getting it free though!

22.

Ooh, for PC. Very nice. Thanks again for all these Free Stuff Fridays!

23.

My son has never played this game. Would love to see what he thinks.

24.

This sounds like it could actually be a good game.

25.

26.

Wow didn't know this existed, liked the original Tomb Raider so I think I will check this out.

Good old memories.

34.

Who doesn't love Tomb Raider? If you've never played it, give it a try, it's worth it!

35.

It's hard to believe I've been with my girlfriend Lara Croft for 12 years now. And man..she looks better now than when we met!

36.

Haven't played Tomb Raider for so long. Last TR game I played was TR: Chronicles on the original Playstation. It's been almost a decade already. Time goes by so fast...

37.

Tomb Raider FTWW!

38.

my parents wouldn't let me play a tomb raider game back in the psx days. D:
