I was shocked to see two modern games of 2013 to go on sale this low so early!
Tomb Raider is yet another new adaptation of a newer, grittier Lara Croft that's a bit more realistic and human than previous games, specially the one where it was more dark than gritty. The game play is fantastic and easy to control, very intuitive. The mechanics and the engine itself are wonderful and the graphics aren't that bad either. The story and semi-open world story line is better than most modern games and I feel as though they pulled it off in a good way. The only downside is that I really didn't hear much of this game during its development and even after the game cam out so its almost around my circle of PC gamers, a silent gem.
The new Hitman is really a hit or miss for most people with very little in between. The game mechanics is very similar to Tomb Raider (for good reason...) but the story and gameplay is a bit out of place compared to previous games. The biggest complaint I have with the game is the social aspect that seems way too forced to get players to be competitive with the single player missions with your friends; some missions really stress too much on restrictions or requirements that must be met otherwise you don't complete it. What happened to the "if all hell breaks loose, just shoot your way out" thrill that previous hitman games had that really compelled you to try to be silent as possible, but still have the option to go guns blazing without (too much) negative impact to the mission.
The story line of Hitman is really another major complaint and really doesn't suck me in to their narrative unlike how Tomb Raider does it. It's too much punisher like story line, but without the ability to just blow stuff up, Rambo style. It's an ok game on its own, but I wouldn't really have been compelled to buy Hitman if it wasn't on sale and bundled with tomb raider.
Great value if the Tomb Raider problem is fixed. Mine is also giving the duplicate key error. I suggest waiting until this is fixed before purchasing further copies.
When I was growing up and I depend of what my parents can and cant buy me the Tomb Raider saga was a top priority in the selection of games, when I play this reebot I was a little concern that they will change a lot of the essence of Lara, but after I play this game I love it I had end it like 5 times and I will play it a 6 time, the graphics are great, the history was incredible, the puzzles are very interesting and if you want to finish it at 100% you will have a lot of hours searching for gadgets.

Like the other reviewer, I went to activate Tomb Raider and it gave me an error saying "Duplicate product code - product is already activated on another account." Hitman and Sleeping Dogs activated fine.
