Lara, wondering how best to avoid E3 security
Hot on the heels of our exclusive revelation that Rockstar will not be showing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas comes the confirmation of the other big E3 no-show rumour. The latest Tomb Raider, currently in development at Crystal Dynamics, will not be on show in any form.
Speaking to us today, Eidos Interactive's global head of communications Steve Starvis confirmed the news. "The new Tomb Raider will not be at E3 this year", he said. "The game will be shown when it's ready", though we must point out that the officious statement belies his jovial charm.
As the development lifespan of modern videogames continues to balloon, this year's E3 will be missing some of the most important games currently underway. In fact, it's becoming increasingly difficult to imagine what new software will be on show.
Expect full updates from the show floor next month.

Hahahahaha
It'll be shown when it's ready?
When it's ready will be, oh, about 4 days before Eidos' financial year end.
I've been a TR fan from day my cousin showed me his (heh) on the Saturn, but I really am overwhelmed with indifference at the next game.

I second the Hahahahahaha!
Eidos will realise one day that Lara needs to be taken round the back of the barn, have both barrels to her temples and end the hilarious monstrosity that Tomb Raider has become. Once the pinacle of gaming excellence, now it's just a withered husk of it's former self.

E3 ruined by the lack of a Tomb Raider game.. nah! E3 would be ruined by the lack of pneumatic "model/actresses" dresses in shorts and oh-so-tight green lycra tops pretending to be Lara.
