I heard it too, but I could not find the link on FilePlanet though. Maybe it was taken down already, or maybe simply that it is not available on my region.

Yeah, I just checked... the link on FP seemes to be broken :P

Might be able to find it somewhere else though. If not, no big deal... it's not like it was a must-play title. But I found it to be a lot of fun... sorta in the vein of The Force Unleashed.
If I'm not getting my Tomb Raiders mixed up, I believe that is one that my sister played and enjoyed. It looked really beautiful, and we like Lara Croft. She's stoked about the next one coming out, and I'm interested in it as well.

I have never heard of Psi-Ops before, and after giving the Wiki entry a brief glance over, it doesn't sound all that interesting.

Go with Tomb Raider.
I would go for Tomb Raider Legend, not the best in the series but it was pretty good. If you have a PS3 you should get Tomb Raider Collection as it comes with Anniversary and Underworld.
Finished Tomb Raider: Legend last night.

There were a few times that I wish the game had employed save-anytime-anywhere mechanism, like in the old Tomb Raider games, but the checkpoint system was not too bad so I won't complain much.

Nice scenery as usual. Superb atmosphere.

I noticed Lara's movement is a bit faster and more fluid than in The Angel of Darkness, but is still not as fast as in the old series. I also noticed Lara could not do back flip jump (unless I somehow missed this).

I would have loved more chance to use Excalibur. Too bad it is mostly only used in the final level. I think another level with it would have been fun.

Overall, an excellent Tomb Raider game. I'll see if I can continue with the series in the future.

As for Psi-Ops, for the heck of it I had asked my brother to get it instead. So I will probably play it anyway in the future when I have a chance to swap the games with my brother :-)

Thanks all!

I think the fileplanet link is down, so he'd have to hunt up some other host.
2nd necro'ing of my own thread, I hope that's okay. I just want to say that I actually finished Psi-Ops too. As I said I got my brother to get it instead, and so we traded the games (me with Tomb Raider: Legend and he with Psi-Ops).

A few frustrating points/places in the game that I wished we could have a bit more frequent checkpoints since the developers were too lazy to implement the save anytime anywhere feature (or perhaps they were under pressure with deadline by the greedy publisher?).

Especially that two-part battle with Marlena Kesslar. Having no checkpoint between the first and the second part of the battle, coupled with some crashes on my system, made this battle rather frustrating. I had to resort to trainer when I played it first time. Then after I finished the game, I came back to that part and had to spend several times before I finally managed to defeat the bitch. I mean, the first part of the battle was quite tedious, why not giving it a checkpoint before the second part commenced?

Sniping in this game is unsatisfactory and inaccurate compared to sniping in Second Sight, or say in Hitman series. Stealth is acceptable, though of course definitely not in the class of Thief or Splinter Cell series.

Telekinesis, especially in boss battles, was a bit too dominant in this game for me. I mean, I could probably use other powers but it would seem like some boss battles were scripted only for telekinesis. That could be a problem on my side, though.

Story-wise Psi-Ops cannot hold a candle compared to Second Sight, this one I agree.

Anyway, overall it is not a bad game per se, and I did enjoy some part of it, but I wish it could be improved.
