No, Sarah Palin is not in Tomb Raider, but it would be goofy if she were. (I’ll stop there.)

Speaking of Tomb Raider, Eidos has some new stuff for you.

Eidos Interactive, creator of some of the world’s leading video game
properties, today announces an agreement with Microsoft to release two
brand new downloadable chapters in the continuing Tomb Raider
adventures of Lara Croft. Containing up to six hours of new gameplay
and content for Tomb Raider: Underworld, the chapters will be
available exclusively on Xbox LIVE video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. A demo for Tomb Raider: Underworld will also be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace in October.

Offering entirely new content specifically designed to extend the Tomb Raider: Underworld experience, Tomb Raider: Underworld – Beneath the Ashes and Tomb Raider: Underworld – Lara’s Shadow will deliver two very different single player gameplay experiences. Tomb Raider: Underworld – Beneath the Ashes takes place after the Underworld story has finished and will feature an incredible new environment to explore, additional secrets to unlock and different enemies to fight. Tomb Raider: Underworld – Lara’s Shadow will introduce players to a new kind of playable character and create a unique Tomb Raider experience.

The first new chapter, Tomb Raider: Underworld – Beneath the Ashes, will be available for download exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace this Christmas. Tomb Raider: Underworld – Lara’s Shadow will follow in early 2009.

Tomb Raider: Underworld will release on Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and PC Games for Windows platforms. With development led by Crystal Dynamics, developers of the recent Tomb Raider blockbusters, Tomb Raider: Underworld represents a new advancement in exploration-based gameplay. As the fearless adventurer Lara Croft, players explore, raid and solve the mysteries of exotic locations around the world, each designed in breathtaking high-definition visual fidelity that creates a truly believable world and delivers a new level of challenge and choice.

It sounds like this game is going to be pretty massive.
