Don't underestimate this music man, the Dead Space series would not have been half as atmospheric without him. Legend.
Saying that, does Tomb Raider even deserve or warrant someone of his talent? Jury's out on that one at the mo.

Jason Graves chosen to craft score for Square Enix's new Lara Croft action game.
Square Enix revealed today that Dead Space series composer Jason Graves is in charge of the score for next year's Tomb Raider franchise reboot.
The company made the announcement in a YouTube video today (below), which takes viewers inside Graves' Raleigh, North Carolina home and shows off some of the instruments used for the soundtrack.
In addition to creating the music for all three Dead Space titles and numerous other video games, Graves' work is also featured in television and film. Some of his TV credits include The Amazing Race and America's Most Wanted, while his work can be found in movie trailers for G.I. Jane and Mercury Rising.
The Tomb Raider reboot--which spans 12-15 hours--is due March 5, 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. It was originally planned to launch during fall 2012.
Tomb Raider is the first installment in the series since 2010's downloadable multiplayer-focused Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and the first standalone game since 2008's Tomb Raider: Underworld.

I don't know, this game looks like it needs more than Dead Space's score. So far from what I have seen it has too much drama and very little action, exploration or platforming, not good signs.
That smile on his mug looks like it was induced by a type of euphoria regarding the prospect of working on that game which has nothing to do with professional pride except by painful antithesis...
1 Like Hes the right man to write a survival game. Finally Tomb Raider will stop from being a kotaku favorite pet to become a real game.

@PSYCHOXBOXTRUTH @Rivboets7 ow boehoe,here goes the system war again...poor little child. And if you're wondering we have ps3,xbox360,pc and 3ds at home. Let people play on what they think is best and go play with yourself...that's the worsted device on the market.
Two things. 1. Why is it always me you comment on? 2. That actually made me lol because the Xbox is similar to the PS3 in many ways.
2 Like I'm still worried about that 12-15 hours time span for the game because it means to me that there will be 2 or maybe 3 dungeons/tombs in the whole game maximum. Not good at all!
This will be so much better than any of the uncharted games that ripped off it's predecessors.
1 Like I just played played one Tomb Raider game and to be honestly I tought it was mediocre at best. The concept of this reboot looks much more appealing to me maybe this will be the game that will change my opinion about the series.
Crystal Dynamics hired Sony's God of War 2 director. They really have been ramping up talent.
1 Like Jason is a cool guy. Have pleasure chatting with him from time to time. Check out his soundcloud if you in to cinematic music.
2 Like First Resident evil is now a shooter and now Tomb Raider is a action game instead of puzzles/platforming game. welcome to next-gen
The new Tomb Raider has puzzles and platforming.. YOUR old tomb raider died a long time ago. Barbie Doll Tomb Raider, make room for the NEW and better Lara Croft.
@GamerOuTLaWz I'm pretty sure the new Tomb Raider has puzzle and platforming elements. The game looks fantastic so I'm not really sure what you're getting at.
