Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have teamed up with mobile game developer Simutronics on a brand new Tomb Raider title for iOS and Android. Already being test run by users in the Netherlands as of this morning, the brand new Lara Croft: Relic Run is set to hit the rest of the world in “the coming months“, according to a post on the official Tomb Raider Tumblr page this morning.

As you have likely guessed, it is another endless runner title complete with all the usual Tomb Raider fixings including what the developer calls “seamless transitions between acrobatic-inspired running, combat, vehicles, and epic boss fights, including but not limited to the return of the infamous T-Rex.“

It will be a free-to-play title once it does launch here in North America for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. For those of us outside of the Netherlands, there does appear to be a few videos on Youtube showing off some gameplay.

Be sure to head over to today’s Game/App roundup for all the best price drops across every platform, and check out the latest Free App of the Week.

More on the JLab JBuds EPIC earbuds:

EPIC, Earbuds Reimagined. Revolutionary Fit. Radical Sound. 8 Years. 1 EPIC pair of earbuds. That’s right. The EPIC is the result of eight years of engineering, research and design. They’re the new bad boy of sound – and they were created directly from customer feedback, reviews and industry know-how. 1,000 ways to rock. Comfortably. We straight ran out of ways to make old technology comfortable. So, we got innovative. Introducing Cush Fins, the revolutionary earbud system that guarantees a perfect fit and ear-lapping comfort. Coupled with seven gel tips, Cush Fins give you 1,000-plus formulas to fine-tune your listening setup.

Whoa, this is big. Sound not forgotten. Just because they’re comfortable doesn’t mean they won’t rattle your globe. The EPIC uses C3 technology to deliver clean, crisp sound no matter your flavor of music. Drench your ears in vibrant highs and song-defining mids – all delivered through JLab’s high-performance 13-mm drivers, the largest driver we’ve ever packed into an earbud.

Perhaps. But how epic would these earbuds be if they weren’t built to last? Featuring a universal mic and simple track control, the flat, tangle-free cable offers additional strength when things get messy. Seriously, we tested these during a death match with a cobra, puma and liger. OK, no, we didn’t. But they’re pretty dang strong.

Xbox One AC Unity bundle w/ Halo MCC & 3-months Live $350, PS4 w/ Last of Us & 2 games $399 ($70+ in savings)

Justin Kahn Apr 1 2015 - 3:04 pm PT

On top of the day’s best game and app deals, we have a couple notable console bundles on sale for both the PlayStation and Xbox crowds. Newegg via eBay Daily Deals is offering the Xbox One Assassin’s Creed Unity bundle with the Halo Master Chief Collection and 3 months of Xbox Live Gold attached for $349.99 shipped. This is the best current value available on Xbox One, considering most retailers charge this price without the 3 months of Live ($17+ value) and without the extra game ($40 value).

Next up, Walmart is offering The Last of Us PlayStation 4 bundle with two additional games today (Destiny, Watch Dogs, Shadow of Mordor, Need for Speed: Rivals + many other choices) for $399 shipped. While maybe not as desirable for some as the recent Bloodborne bundle simply due to the game’s recent release, today’s deal is the best current value available and is as much as $70+ in savings considering the value of the two additional games.

Be sure to take a peak at the recently revealed Limited Edition Batman: Arkham Knight PlayStation 4 and this month’s freebies from Sony and Microsoft. In case you missed it this morning, we also spotted a brand new brawler from Nintendo’s mobile developer DeNA known as Marvel Mighty Heroes and one of our favorite image editors for Mac went 50% off.

Play Super Mario 64 in beautiful HD for free in your browser

Justin Kahn Mar 30 2015 - 4:54 pm PT

0 Comments

Update (3/31 2:35pm): It appears as though the folks over at Nintendo weren’t too happy about the HD remake. Links to access Super Mario 64 HD are all shutdown at this point.

Many of us still remember the release of the now iconic Super Mario 64 back in the mid 90’s. Since then the game has garnered a massive following and is widely considered to be one of the most influential video games of all time. Even though the game holds up quite well after so many years, those N64 graphics don’t look as pretty as they used to. So developer Erik Roystan Ross decided to take it upon himself to recreate the beloved game’s first level in full HD using the Unity game engine.

While not a complete replica of the original, it is certainly much prettier and will be very familiar to fans of the game. It is complete with many of the enemies and obstacles from the original, and best of all, you can play for free right now on your Mac, PC or Linux machine (with gamepad support). It is also available right in the browser if you have the free Unity player installed. While there were previously some server overload issues, Ross’ blog states that new hosting has been provided.

Be sure to check out our ongoing Nintendo deals as well. We currently have some deeply discounted amiibo figures and rarely discounted 3DS titles still live from over the weekend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8-2TF3Okyw

More notes/technical stuff from the developer:

Demonstration project for the Super Character Controller, a recreation of Super Mario 64’s first level, Bob-Omb Battlefield. Everything is just as you remember, except some really minor stuff that nobody cared about like red coins or the Wing Cap or the Big Bob-omb. Replacing them are crowd pleasers like giant springs and coin blocks.

Gamepad support is available, so if you have one make sure to open the controls menu to set it up (keyboard controls are default). I’ve tested it with the Xbox One, Xbox 360, and DualShock 3 and 4. If any of these do not work, please post a comment below describing your situation. Likewise, if you use a gamepad that I did not list and it did work, please mention it so I can add it to the list.
