Guests Laurie and Steve return to Raidercast in a special sequel to Season 2's Remakes and Ports episode - as the stars aligned, we now actually have remasters! Here are our breakdowns of things we love, things we don't, and things we'd love to see.

Marine Conservation and Tomb Raider Lara Croft faces many underwater beasties during her quests, however are these marine menaces actually misunderstood? I spoke to Tomb Raider fan and activist Bernardo Hautenne from Blue Religion, a marine conservation group based in Mexico, and asked how the game's creatures measure up to their real-life counterparts.
