E3 Community Ambassador One-on-One Developer Interviews

E3 has now come and gone, with Tomb Raider making quite a splash at the show and picking up numerous awards, including Best of Show from IGN, Game Informer, CVG, GamesRadar, the Official Xbox Magazine, Official PlayStation Magazine, and more. Congratulations to the team! It's great to see them receiving some well-deserved recognition for all their hard work. :)

As you know from earlier posts, Crystal Dynamics hosted a group of 17 community ambassadors representing fan sites from around the world. The ambassadors spent 2 days exploring the show, watching game demos and presentations, talking with Tomb Raider's creators, and generally mixing and mingling. The goal was for the ambassadors to get a closer look at the game, as well as to bring their communities' questions to the developers and then share their experiences with the fans back home.

Along with a group Q&A session, each ambassador had the opportunity for a 15-minute, one-on-one interview with a member of the development team. I've posted links to some of these interviews below and will add more as they become available.
