Yesterday, I was browsing some of the websites that I usually visit once upon a time, and I found a very interesting article. Well, when you see “Google Earth” + “Tomb Raider” + “CHALLENGE” in an article’s title it does attract considerable amount of attention. Right?

What it’s about?

Atari has launched an online challenge in order to promote Lara Croft latest game, “Tomb Raider Underworld“. The most fascinating part of the online challenge is that it uses Google Earth Plugin to play the game.

How the game works?

Everyday, a clue is made available of the website of the game.
Something like this:

“A mysterious three, don’t get lost in the western sea“

You have to search the earth to find the location provided by the clue. If your guess is right and you zoom in sufficiently, you will see an orange Tomb Raider icon. If you see that, it means that you have solved the puzzle. Click on it, fill in the form and win a PS3. Simple!!!

Note: I’m not sure if this contest is worldwide or not. But it’s worth playing it either ways.

Enjoy the online game

Roughly, the objective was:

The objective seems to be more than accomplished, since the gross income was :
