Hearing that GameTap has recently announced the launch of a new GameTap Retrospective series and a new original animated one, "ReVisioned", kind of made me sad. The series is said to pay homage to one of the game industry's top franchises of all times, which is Tomb Raider.

Is one of my favorite game series getting the departing homage? Got to get my Tomb Raider Anniversary pronto when it's released June 5th. It should be the bomb!

"We wanted to do something special for Lara's 10th anniversary," said Larry Sparks, Eidos' head of brands management. "Working with GameTap allowed us to tell the Tomb Raider story like never before, complete with fan interviews from around the world and a first ever photo shoot that brought together the live action Lara Croft models."

"10 Years of Tomb Raider - A GameTap Retrospective" profiles the creators, the games, the live-action models and the fans who have collectively made Tomb Raider a pop culture phenomenon. The documentary will be available for free for all fans to view at the official site, in the Tomb Raider section and new segments will be added each week through June 7th.

"The Retrospectives series explores the most beloved game franchises and their impacts on pop culture. With '10 Years of Tomb Raider,' we show the history of this legendary series of games," said Ricardo Sanchez, GameTap's vice president of content. "Fans of Tomb Raider will get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of the industry's most successful game franchises."

For all of you who share my love for Tomb Raider..., eh who am I kidding, love for Lara of course, let's all gather into an angry mob of Tomb Raider fans and tell Eidos that we haven't had enough. We don't want homage payed for Lara, we want her again and again don't we?
