Tomb Raider has been a critical success, and if you haven’t gotten your hands on a copy, please do (our review). The developers at Crystal Dynamics are already reflecting on their favorite parts of the game, and have shared a video showcasing the ‘Scaling of the Ziggurat’.

The Ziggurat is an ancient temple built upon an icy mountainside, which Lara must traverse in the latter stages of the game in order to reach her final destination.

One Piece gets a new OP theme so throw your ‘Hands Up!’

After a long tenure as the opening theme of One Piece, it has now been confirmed that ‘We Go!’ will be replaced by a new theme song after more than a year and a half as the series opening.

‘We Go!’ has been the series opening theme since the beginning of the New World saga back in October 2011. One Piece will say goodbye to “We Go!’ with its final appearance on episode 590. Following that a new theme called ‘Hands Up!’ by Kota Shinzato will begin with episode 591 on April 14th, 2013. Fans of the series may remember Shinzato’s performance of classic theme ‘We Are!’ on the Episode of Luffy special.

It will certainly be sad to see a song such as ‘We Go!’ go after endearing itself into the hearts of One Piece fans, but it is undoubtedly time to throw your hands up as we farewell ‘We Go!’ and welcome ‘Hands Up!’.
