Tomb Raider shoot-em-up!

I don't know if anyone is familiar with the horror-genre style concepts that popped up a little while ago from a planned Tomb Raider game, which looked incredibly cool IMO and could bring back that old sense of solitude to the series. This game, however, isn't that. This new game is apparently something like Contra with a parter (crappy AI if you're playing single-player? yea, probably). On the other hand it is just a downloadable title.

An interesting casual game or AOD type disaster? I'm still unsure.

Probably a low budget game on a popular franchise, based on that preview. Not surprising why it's 'downloadable only'.

I can't recall ever reading about that. Then again, I lost interest in the Tomb Raider games after Underworld so I probably lost touch with it.

The original article was, of course, taken down at Square/CD's behalf, but you can find those images in most places if you google "next tomb raider" or "tomb raider horror".
