    This Alphabeat song is VERY addictive. Despite the amount of times i've heard this at work, I love it. It's so 80's.

    It does look great. Kind of reminds me of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (in a good way). I think CD's doing a good job with the series... but I hope they change that cover. :lol:

    And one more thing Keaton, since you're so musical..here is the new Underworld theme music:

    http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/underworld/soundtrack.html

    Much like this entire game, the music is very different for Tomb Raider. Sounds like something from LOTR. I am absolutely thrilled by the direction they're taking!

    But yes...change the cover. Show her more.

    Alexander Hamilton, sitting on the left
    Thomas Jefferson, sitting on the right
    Ben Franklin, sitting in between
    Trying to compromise on who would run the scene

    The founding fathers knew it was a brand new day
    But each saw the future in a different way
    All about the Federal or all about the State?
    And what about slavery with all of its hate?
    Electoral votes and a centralized bank
    Looking back we have these gentlemen to thank
    Hamilton it seems had industrial schemes
    Big city dreams modern ways and means
    Jefferson saw the country an agrarian paradise
    The slave trade kept cotton cheap and very nice
    They fought and argued and never could agree
    Till Hamilton said, “You can have DC
    I’ll take New York, consolidate the debt,
    The Civil War’s coming, how much you want to bet?”
    And from that compromise the seeds were sewn
    For Lincoln versus Davis and who would be owned

    Hey it’s your turn to change the world
    Check the history, you’ll see it’s no mystery
    Hey it’s your turn to change the world
    So that’s why you wanna vote for Obama

    Second verse is the story of a war that came -
    A hundred years later - like Abe Lincoln versus Cane
    An immoral conflict, inextricably embroiled
    A tiger by its tale or a serpent coiled
    Underneath the table, said Franklin on his death bed
    Were we strong enough to grab the snake by its head?
    Damn, fighting a war pitting brother verse brother
    600,000 men, we were killing each other
    Baptized by fire, Civil War and disease
    Would this be enough to make the country’s soul clean?
    The south wanted money, the north wanted morals
    In the fight against Satan we couldn’t sit on our laurels
    Up in Hamilton’s city was a world-class riot
    Abe Lincoln was shot, the whole country went quiet
    Southern Pride was wounded, had to be pacified
    Jim Crow was elected, a new thorn in our side!

    Hey it’s your turn to change the world
    Detract a whack precedent, elect a black president
    Hey it’s your turn to change the world
    So that’s why you gotta vote for Obama

    Southern blacks they fled, to northern cities they came
    To capture the vote and end the pain
    From Harlem to Watts, Chi-town, Philly, Motor City
    Black neighborhoods flourished without white money or pity
    So Hoover and Johnson, the Southern Democrats
    Coined “urban renewal” to heard all the rats
    No more local economies now we’re taking it back
    Substandard housing for all these refugee blacks
    So how’s that? Independent momentum destroyed
    Racist manipulators were so overjoyed
    That’s when Martin Luther King said Jim Crow was unbearable
    The prophet he brought a new equality parable
    Put the soul of the country as the moral imperative
    Remember Hamilton’s vision in this historical narrative?
    All men are equal, they were created so
    Which set the stage for Obama to let the whole world know!

    Here were are today it’s 2008
    Have we learned from the past and let go of the hate?
    If we can manifest the founding fathers’ intent
    Then we’ll know that it’s time for a black president

    History baby, today, right now.

    Hey it’s your turn to change the world
    Maintain the hope, Barack the vote
    Hey it’s your turn to change the world
    That’s why you wanna vote for Obama

    Very epic and beautiful. I'm excited. :D


    While on the subject of games, I'm hoping that the only thing wrong with Alone in the Dark is the controls. It looks like it has so much potential. *crosses fingers* I'm surprised it's taking so long for reviews to appear.

    Oh man Keaton, this game (TR: Underworld) is going to be game of the year. Check this out:

    Description

    Designed specifically to take advantage of the latest technologies Tomb Raider: Underworld represents a new advancement in exploration-based gameplay. As fearless adventurer Lara Croft explore exotic locations around the world, each designed with an incredible attention to detail resulting in breathtaking high-definition visual fidelity that creates a truly believable world and delivers a new level of challenge and choice.

    Story

    For generations, stories have been told of the fearsome weapon of the Norse god Thor. Legend holds that he who wields the hammer has the power to smash mountains into valleys and the strength to destroy even the gods. For more than a thousand years it has existed only as a myth…until now.
    In an ancient ruin on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea, Lara Croft uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and the mythical hammer. As she attempts to unravel the secrets behind these myths, Lara’s perilous journey leads her toward a forgotten power that, if unleashed, could lay waste to all civilization.

    Features

    • Master your surroundings: Reach new heights with the broadest range of acrobatic abilities and utilize objects within the environment to uncover new paths to explore.
    • Explore epic and unknown worlds: Discover ancient mysteries of the underworld hidden within the coast of Thailand, frozen islands of the Arctic Sea, the jungles of Mexico, and more.
    • Treacherous and unpredictable challenges: Each level is an elaborate multi-stage puzzle masked within an interactive environmental playground offering more flexibility over how the area is solved.
    • New range of combat options: Choose to pacify or kill, target multiple enemies at once with the new dual-target system, and shoot with one hand while suspended with the other.
    • New state-of-the-art gear: Utilize the latest technology in Lara’s upgraded inventory to navigate the world including:
    • Active Sonar map: A revolutionary new tool that emits an active sonar ping to create a 3D image of Lara’s surroundings, perfect for uncovering hidden items and locations.
    • Multi-purpose grapple: A claw-like device with a high-tension cable designed for climbing, rappelling, performing wall runs and manipulating objects within the environment.
    • All-terrain hybrid motorbike: A unique vehicle design built to drive on everything from mud to snow and ice.

    A new Tomb Raider that's been about 2-3 years in the making mind you.

    Anniversary was just a filler. This is the true followup to Legend :D.

    As long as there are no bike missions I will be happy. That's the only thing I didn't like in Legend. But if they can provide a proper TR experience with more freedom, by all means I'm for it. But hey, as for game of the year... I don't know man, can it really top MGS4? :lol: I kid. I'll be looking foreward to playing it though.

    There will be no lame bike levels ala Legend. The developers admitted it wasn't a wise choice and were embarrassed by the bad press those parts received, so it's already been said that the bike will be a LOT better this time.
