At the start of the millennium the movie Tomb Raider brought the majestic Khmer temples of Angkor Wat to mainstream audiences and propelled Cambodia on the tourist map from that point onwards. 2008 saw the release of another critically-acclaimed title in the video game series with Tomb Raider : Underworld, where Lara Croft explores many exotic locations, including once again the hidden Khmer temples of Angkor Wat in the Cambodian jungle, all while fighting off baddies, wild animals and deadly contraptions.
So far over 75 million copies of the Tomb Raider games have sold and the series can be considered one of the pioneers of the action-adventure genre. Its protagonist Lara Croft has become maybe the most recognizable female video game character in the history of gaming.
Tomb Raider : Underworld can be purchased from Square Enix or directly on Steam for PC.
