Eidos has a new site up for the upcoming Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, and they say that is uses bump and environment mapping. This game will be a big boost for the G400.

Press The Last Revelation
Press Features and there's notice of bump-mapping.
Press Story and skip to the bottom, where it reads:
"To further the atmospheric detail, the lighting system now features spotlighting. New environment mapping also allows a variety of surfaces and objects to reflect and react to light sources. Bump mapping is also featured to significantly increase graphical definition. Lara herself is also remodelled - fully skinned and more detailed. A range of new moves, both simple and complex, has enabled designers to create an assortment of brand new puzzle and trap mechanisms for Lara to negotiate. In terms of accessible gameplay,
Last Revelation is able to offer greater range than any of its predecessors. New technology features a wealth of original elements and effects designed to give a more focused and compelling experience."
I think thats not refering to Environment Mapped Bump mapping but to two other different things: Evironmental mapping (that chrome stuff efect reflecting th evironment - like in NFS3) and Bupmapping (maybe the regular embossing).
I can be wrong, but even ROM was surprised with that statement, so...
