Mind that I'm not urgent to play any Tomb Raider games, so I can wait for the price to come back down again and/or for the PS3 upgrades to drop in price.
Basically, I'm just looking at Anniversary. Yeah, I can hear the "Dude, it's only two-and-a-half bucks!"s, but my backlog (even just for Steam) is massive, and while my laptop would apparently run Underworld well enough according to Can You Run It?, I think my biggest question is, Which controls would be best for this game?"
2D platformers? Sure. If I played strategy games? Sure. First-person shooters? If you mean primarily Portal, then yes. However, I'm not sure how well a game like this would feel on a keyboard, and I read in another thread that the controls make for frustrating boss battles, so assuming money and extras are non-issues, would this game do noticeably better on a DualShock rather than my board-o'-keys (don't have a USB controller, and I haven't managed to jigger my DS3 to act as one)?
Extras considered, though, trophies, PS Home crap, and another theme to collect... Yeah, I'm pithy, but I may, may just hold out for the "Trilogy" anyway, especially since there's little to make a PC copy distinctive (no cheevos, not interested in mods, if they exist (maaaybe a nude one, but it prolly wouldn't be worth it)).
