PC download charts: 'Tomb Raider,' 'BioShock Infinite' | Bangkok Post: tech

Courageous archaeologist Lara Croft returns in "Tomb Raider," a hit with PC gamers on the Steam and GameStop Impulse charts, while a selection of pre-order bonuses for "BioShock Infinite" sees advanced purchases heat up.

The new "Tomb Raider" is less catacomb pillaging and more survival story.

"Tomb Raider" released last week to a generally enthusiastic reception. Reviews confirmed its competence as an action game, though some found the depiction of female lead Lara to be troublesome in places -- something of a series hallmark now, for better or for worse.

Another action game, "BioShock Infinite," places players aboard a floating city divided by rival factions; pre-order incentives range from copies of the original "BioShock" and, potentially, "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" (Steam) to a choice of five titles including "BioShock 2" and "Civilization V" (Green Man Gaming) or store discounts worth $17.99 (GamersGate).
