I'm playing through the entire series, finally (I've only ever really played through Lara's home, where available, and browsed the first level of the first 6 games!). I couldn't be bothered with the awful graphics and dynamics of the first TR game again, so I started with Anniversary, skipped the original TR and moved on to TRII (I'm only on level 6, woe is me).
Anyway, the point of this thread is to discuss the ups and downs of the Tomb Raider series and ultimately come to a decision on which of the 8 main titles is the best. Feel free to discuss the other expansions, bonus levels, handheld spin-offs, etc, but only the 8 main titles will be included in the poll (including Anniversary, since it's definitely a game in its own right - the plot is the same but the game itself couldn't be more different).
Anyhow, as I'm less than a quarter of the way through the series, I'll leave the hardcore discussions to others.
As always, PLEASE be careful with spoilers, and use spoiler tags where appropriate...if ANYONE ruins any of the titles for me, I'll quite literally kill you.
