If game characters were old

Xbox Feature | Tomb Raider: Anniversary

What happened to Snake? With those layered and textured wisps of oh-so-touchable hair, that Rambo-ninja headband, and a perfectly landscaped maze of lovable facial scruff, MGS 2 Snake was downright dreamy. Several years and one blond douchebag later and Snake is back with crow’s feet and the beginnings of a Geraldo Rivera 'stache. If anything is suited for sneaking, it’s the varicose veins crawling up the skin stuffs stretched over his legs. ... » Read More

Lara Croft - NUDE!

Xbox Feature | Tomb Raider: Anniversary

Aug 22, 2007 One of the best in-gags in gaming history is the "Lara Nude Cheat." For all the old Tomb Raider games, Core would leak a cheat that claimed to turn Lara naked. In reality, once you'd managed to pull off the complex moves, your only reward was to watch your heroine violently explode with a scream, her arms, legs and head flying off in different directions.

Xbox Feature | Tomb Raider: Anniversary

The top 5 moments in Tomb Raiding

Xbox Feature | Tomb Raider: Anniversary

1) Fighting a T-Rex Having dispatched with a couple of troublesome Raptors, Lara finds herself on the run from an oddly polygonal Tyrannosaurus Rex. Can I do it in Anniversary? Oh yes. The T-Rex battles will be Anniversarys action core. 2) The Swan Dive Lara calmly walks to the edge of the cliff, then - with surprising grace for one so unaerodynamically designed - swan dives into the clear blue water below. Its a stunning moment. Can I do it in Anniversary? Yes you will. Expect arching, ... » Read More

The Top 7... series run into the ground

Xbox Feature | Tomb Raider: Anniversary

A game is made, and it turns out to be good. The game comes out, becomes popular... and then becomes a series. Usually, we have nothing bad to say about that. Until, inevitably, things start to slide. The creator that made the game what it was bails. Or it fizzles in the transition from one console to another. Maybe the staff just forgot what made it great. Whatever the problem, we've selected seven of the biggest offenders, for your ... » Read More
