    Well said, the jadefalcon. My previous comment was an objective to stereotyping guys my age.

    Uh... huh... And here we wonder why gamers are always stereotyped. Honestly, I couldn't give a damn what she wore. My favourite outfit in Legend was also the most modest (the biker outfit). I don't buy games based on who's a voice actor or who's stripped half naked (the reason I was very cautious about buying RA3). I buy games for being GAMES. Maybe I'm just not picky, but that's all I need. As long as the game is good, I couldn't care less about the voice actors. Lara should just be Lara: the fiesty countess of Abbington. She may not be the most ladyish for countesses, but that's just Lara. Stick to raiding tombs and saving the world from ancient evils. That's the Lara I want (it's sort of in the name). Otherwise, we may as well have Misty Mundae: Erotic Raider (apparently an actual film).

    Heh, pretty funny guys. Has every game developer gone fucking stupid? In this case-- They have a problem: Q. Why isn't our game selling as many units as we want it to? A. [Apparent to anyone with a fully functioning brain] Because we need to make the GAME BETTER. A. [To these clown-shoes] Umm..Ah..Er.. Because our main character isn't 'mainstream' enough? It's disheartening to think that someone in the company doesn't have the brains to say, "Look, if we de-sex Lara all that will happen is we are going to alienate or present fan base (most of whom are horny teenage boys, or were when the first game came out) and lose any potential for attracting any more who would be initially interested in the game because of Lara's sex appeal. Instead, maybe we should focus on making better gameplay, not just rehashing the same since 1996. Also, we might try hiring some REAL writers."

    This is really bad news. A great article but horrible news to any true Tomb Raider fan.

    Hmm, Ubisoft...publishers of Tomb Raider, publishers of Prince of Persia. Prince of Persia was recently made rather family friendly with nice semi-cell-shaded graphics and a small number of simple tasks to complete with an illusion of freedom. So, the next Tomb Raider will have... I'm not going to spell it out, I think we can all see where this is going.

    Hey, I'm 65, stop covering the girl up! I need to see more, not less. You guys don't know Grandpas from, well ... your elbow!
