The franchise already has its integrity back; Legend was a very fun game.
Now, do you see how this is fun?

With Tomb Raider: Anniversary, we now come on to a consideration of the more sophisticated transitive mode of japing, in which - as we'll observe - the operator or inceptor remains totally unaware of the humorous implications of her actions.
Indeed, with this entry in the series, they finally have a shot at restoring the integrity of not only incidents of primary precipitation in Tomb Raider, but elements of secondary and transitive precipitation as well. In some respects, this may, in fact, be the ultimate entry into the franchise's much ballyhooed canon.

Tired and old 3rd person jumping puzzle game, it may look better "teen age boys like this" but game play is dated un-installed the demo in 10 minutes flat lame.
So there you go. Bone43 has driven it home once again. Anniversary will not, sadly, bring integrity back to the franchise.

It's flattering that you give my words such importance that it's worth debating over such arbitrary interpretations, but really...
Then you went on to say other stuff. Personally I was not giving your words much importance. I was just enjoying a fun yet meaningless argument that I read regarding your original post and what was inferred. But, I will joyfully stand by my quote to your quote that I quoted, that your quote says that Anniversary may indeed bring integrity back to the franchise also says that Legend didn't. Obviously all of our opinions on games are opinions, including those opinions by reviewers on review sites. But, the overall opinion from what I've seen says that Legend did.

I believe that further analysis of this extremely important issue may, in fact, be necessary.
As early as the late 14th century or indeed as late as the early 14th century, the earliest forms of jape in the Tomb Raider series were divisible into the two categories in which I now intend to divide them.
The earliest manifestation of the of the basic simple precipitation in Tomb Raider incurred - as will be seen from the demonstration - a disproportional amount of internal risibility on the part of the operator. Imagine, for example, the image of the gracile Lara Croft tripping over a small pebble.
The secondary precipitation occurs when both protagonists and dupe are located indoors. It is true, however, that this has involved the development of a special piece of machinery. But it is still no more than a simple variation of primary precipitation. Imagine, for instance, Lara attempting to sit in a chair which has just been pulled out from beneath her shapely buttocks. Funny, but much less-so after the first game in the series.
The opening-up of the African continent revealed a vast new source of wealth for humourous exploitation. We are to see demonstrated how this was adapted to the basic precipitation jape in game number two of the franchise.
Through simple use of a conveniently discarded banana peel, the developers were able to create a series of slapstick incidents in which Lara was caused to slip and fall, thus elevating the series to near Vaudevillian levels of humour. Sadly, further attempts fell altogether flat in comparison.
With Tomb Raider: Anniversary, we now come on to a consideration of the more sophisticated transitive mode of japing, in which - as we'll observe - the operator or inceptor remains totally unaware of the humorous implications of her actions.
Indeed, with this entry in the series, they finally have a shot at restoring the integrity of not only incidents of primary precipitation in Tomb Raider, but elements of secondary and transitive precipitation as well.

That statement suggests that there haven't been any good TRs since TR2. TR: Legend was good. It does not suggest that. Here's the quote again:
This'll be the first one I've bought since TR2, the last title before the series went to hell. The statement includes the following two assertions:
1. I haven't bought any Tomb Raider titles since TR2.
2. The series went to hell after TR2.
It makes absolutely no reference, direct or implied, about Legend.
So the guy is right, in that the OP ignored the fact the Legend was a pretty good game and did enough to restore the integrity. Let's look at the statement:
Looks like they've done a nice job on this, and have a good shot at restoring integrity to Tomb Raider In other words,
1. It looks like (from the demo and previews and chatter around community forums) they've done a nice job.
2. They have a shot at restoring the integrity of Tomb Raider.
This comes down to opinion, of course. You may think everything's just peachy, while someone else may not. Others may be more wary than you to trust Eidos again, simply because one or two good titles have come. The statement doesn't explicitly exclude any positive effect Legend may have had on the series, nor does it suggest that one and only one title can (or should) make everything right; it states only that they "have a good shot at restoring integrity to Tomb Raider", in one fan's opinion (needless to say).
Now hopefully we're done reading whatever we wish into others' words for the sake of trolling an argument out. Oh wait, I'd forgotten this was Bluesnews. 
Edit: seriously, think about this: we are apparently all fans (some of us for more than 10 years), now arguing over perception of what one person may or may not have meant, for... what? It really is ridiculous here at times.

Yes, it does. More defined by this quote:

Nah, it doesn't. He said the games in the series afterward were bad, not that it didn't pick itself back up. TR2 was when I stopped playing as well and I have agree with the guy, but most of what I read about Legends is pretty good.

Um, re-read the comment you quoted.
I quoted: This'll be the first one I've bought since TR2, the last title before the series went to hell.
That statement suggests that there haven't been any good TRs since TR2. TR: Legend was good.

Is this coming out on the 360? It just doesn't seem like it would click very well on my PC, considering they don't even have proper 3840x1280 resolution support.

I think they missed the deadline. If it was an anniversary edition, shouldn't it have been released in 2006?
How about Tomb Raider: Cash Cow
