Hi Michael, Yes. Guardian of Light isn't officially a part of the Tomb Raider series, but its a decent stand alone game for what it is. I have owned and played almost every TR game available, and Guardian of Light is better than some.
As for the new Tomb Raider game Edos is once again relaunching the series. The New game is simply called Tomb Raider 2012, apparently built on a new engine, and they are trying to basically reboot the series and get their fan base back. Which I don't really see happening. For one thing back in 96/97 Tomb Raider was a massive success. Shortly after the first two games came out they were selling games, the toy stores began selling Lara Croft action figures, and of course they even got a movie deal where Angelina Jolie played Lara Croft in the live action films. However, by 2003 it went straight to the toilet. Sales fell, the second movie didn't rake in as much money as the first one, the Lara Croft toys weren't selling and people lost interest. I think Edos has always wanted to get those gholden years back, but like so many things in life once gone its gone for good. I believe Edos is trying for a third time to relaunch the series, and it probably won't be any more successful than Tomb Raider Anniversary was. Although I admit Tomb Raider Anniversary was an awesome remake of the original. Better graphics and animations, better sound effects, they replaced the Uzi with the MP5 seen in the movies, better acting, etc. It was a great remake, but failed to reach their customer base. Cheers!
