The backstory to this game has Lara deciphering the forgotten Tome of Ezekiel, which was penned by a mysterious medieval scholar and details what magic supposedly is. Thus she finds herself in the mountains of Sweden (not dressed for the occasion, but then she rarely is), searching for the Black Stone. gameboy.gamezone.com /gzreviews/r20475_GBA.htm   (747 words)
