March 2023 Website Updates

2/4/2023

 
Throughout March, we have updated the website with some big things relating to several parts of the franchise. Here is a summary of the additions:
​
  • The Tomb Raider 3 Website Revisited - on our website, we have created several of the old official websites, calling them 'revisited' as they can now be viewed in full in modern times. We've changed some of the links so that they either go to archived pages (reviews/previews) or in the case of the 'buy it now' links, they don't work at all since the original link doesn't work anymore. There are some instances where we haven't changed the links as it is also nice to see where they once went - we were a little conflicted on which was the best thing to do with them. As the TR3 website was the last to revisit, we've created a portal page so that you don't have to go to each game's section to find the link, but can see all the revisited websites in one place.
  • Cancelled Games Category - this was one section that we hadn't tackled until now as we didn't feel like we knew how to present the little content that there was. The 'Lara Croft: Reflections' is the largest section, with thanks to KillerZ for allowing us to use imagery they had unpacked with Blue_Box. Look under the 'Cancelled Games' drop down menu on the home page side bar to view them.
  • Tomb Raider Reloaded Category - with the release of the latest mobile game, we have been creating, adding and updating pages with a vast amount of images and information, to help players understand the different elements to gameplay. There are details on the abilities, gear and the events, and even a 'how to play' page with some little tips that we have learnt along the way. Since we are updating this section as we play, there may be some blank spaces so bear with us.
  • Top Cow Tomb Raider Comics - we had made a start on this section quite a while ago but didn't finish it. Whilst we're still a long way off from finishing, we have at least completed the pages for the first series of Top Cow comics. We've yet to start Journeys, one-offs and crossovers, as well as any of the Dark Horse comics, but we will in time.
  • One other change we have done is to add drop down menus to the side bar on the home page. We felt that this would not only tidy the side bar but also allow us to expand on what we could offer on the home page. You can now clearly see what is present under the category without each new addition making the page longer. Sadly, we're aware that this new layout doesn't work too well with mobile devices. Although our website code is responsive, it still doesn't look great. This is something we'll try to look into in the future.

Thanks to all who have dropped by and visited the website. We are almost constantly working on it, be it with new pages, additions to current pages or correcting errors. It still amazes us that people are interested in the content we have created, and we still get a buzz from creating new content and sharing it. Take care all!
