    Hi. I just finished the last 3 tomb raider games(legend, anniversary, underworld) and I loved them. Earlier TR games are out of the question because the control scheme is absolutely horrible!!!!

    I also played Indiana jones and the emperor's tomb and I liked that too (but not as much as TR). Are there any other similar games? And by similar i mean the action-adventure type, where you explore ancient ruins etc.

    I know abou the prince of persia series, but I'm not a very big fan of medieval-set games. As I said , i prefer something like TR or indiana jones.

    Thanks in advance.

    I forgot to say that they have to be for PC, since i don't have a console.

    There really isn't much out there like these games as far as I know, for PC. I would have to say you are doing yourself a disservice by not playing PoP: Sands of Time as it is quite excellent and probably the closest thing you'll get for what you're looking for. The other PoP games are alright too but SOT is definitely the best.

    +1 for PoP, it's not my favorite game, but if you like 3D platforming, you should try it. It's cheap.

    Also +1 for Batman. That one was lots of fun.
