Xbox 360 owners are about to be the first to get the new Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary game as downloadable episodes from Xbox Live.

Anyone that owns the Tomb Raider: Legend game for the 360 will be able to download the new offering in four episodes. The game will later arrive as a full game for retail purchase. This is the first time that a full retail game has been chopped up as a download and is something that could become more popular if this proves a success.

Of course, anyone that remembers the old RPG – Siege of Avalon – will be familiar with downloadable game chapters.

Episodes 1 and 2 of the new game will blast off in September with 3 and 4 in the months after that. The episodes will cost 2,400 Microsoft Points for all four.-Martin Lynch
