One screw up with Angel
of Darkness and Core Design were condemned to the footnotes
of history, but Crystal Dynamics make a whole
bunch of mediocre attempts at passing as a Tomb Raider
game and they retain the
license for years.
Today, the studio is probably best known for its work on the horror action series Dead Space, but it also worked on Dante's Inferno, and a
bunch of pretty good movie
license games.
