Ben Silverman writes: It took a while, but Lara Crofts rebirth is finally paying off. Publisher Square Enix has announced that cumulative sales of last years acclaimed reboot of the iconic series are closing in on 6 million units. The company says that puts the game on track to become the best-selling Lara Croft game of all time.

The developers of Tomb Raider definitely went soul-searching for Lara Croft and they must have found her in a darker place than usual. Instead of essentially picking up Lara from a Hooters wet T-shirt contest to star in her latest game; we have her attempting a terrifying escape from a cursed, evil-infested island.
