Oprah! Make Over My Man!

After…

Ah, now this is more like it. Tomb Raider Legend’s Lara is positively glowing. A realistic waist – well, for someone who only throws up every second meal – a face that actually looks like, y’know, a human and a fetching new wardrobe. A picture of health next to her creepy, emotionally crippled predecessor, this is a Lara we’d more than like to get to grips with. If you catch our really sleazy, vaguely stalky drift.

Oprah! Make Over My... Erm Woman?

Pass us some buckets of ice water, because we need a rigorous cooling down. Seriously, our favourite peg-legged science man is looking fine after his Half-Life 2 redesign. The well kempt greying face fuzz, those dignified wrinkles; yup, this is a man who knows his scientific shit. Although you can’t see it in the shot above, his prosthetic leg gives him a dangerous edge that juxtaposes those dreamy eyes… sorry, we’re getting lost in them again… eh, perfectly.
