it may not have ''''''tomb raider'''''' in the title, but lara croft and the guardian of light -- scheduled to launch on xbox live arcade, playstation network and pc this summer -- will mark the leading lady's return to a crumbling underworld and its unreasonably hostile caretakers. and while the game's aesthetics are unmistakably consistent with previous games, its unique format draws inspiration from a wider range of sources, including last year's polished xbla hit, shadow complex.

like shadow complex, the game will launch for $15, offering approximately six hours of two-player co-operative action and puzzle-solving (though your pace may vary). according to developer crystal dynamics, lara croft & the guardian of light will be cognizant of the bar set by other high-production games in the download space, while offering a unique interpretation of the well-established tomb raider franchise.

catch joystiq's impressions of the game and an interview with crystal dynamics later this week.
