A new multiplayer video (courtesy of VG247) for Tomb Raider surfaced today, and we have to say that we were a bit disappointed with what we saw as it is pretty clear that this mode is a complete rip-off from the MP mode of Naughty Dogs’ PS3 exclusive title, Uncharted 2 (and 3). Not only that, but the animations that were showcased were awful – to say the least. This is really surprising, considering that EIDOS Montreal is developing the MP mode of Tomb Raider. Don’t believe us? Hit the jump button and see it for yourselves. Tomb Raider is planned for a March 5th release on PC, X360 and PS3!

Okay PC gamers, we’ve got some bad and some good news for you today. The bad news is that BeamNG’s drooling physics engine will be moving from CryEngine 3 to the Torgue 3D engine. The good news is that BeamNG is preparing a new racing game that will take advantage of this extraordinary physics engine, and released a new video that can be viewed below. Although there is nothing ground-breaking in this particular video, we’ve got to say that we got a Viper Racing vibe from it, which is good in our books. BeamNG’s middleware physics engine will be portable to other engines too, however we don’t know whether or not any developer will invest on it anytime soon. Enjoy!
