The title is self-explanatory, but NoobFeed.com's Daav is hell-bent on rubbing his opinion in your face, regardless of his electronics trying to prevent it. Catch his first impression with the Microsoft conference.
"As a rare movie franchise with a female lead character, whoever replaces Jolie as Lara Croft will need just the right characteristics. She needs to be more than sexy - she needs to be tough, smart and physical."
Lara Croft has certainly underwent some drastic, more realistic changes for her next Tomb Raider reboot, but her look isn't the only thing that has changed.
With the rampant rumors floating around of a completely rebooted Tomb Raider game in the making, fans from all over the world are both anxious and curious as to what the future of Tomb Raider really holds. This article contains a compilation of various fan photo manipulations and artworks of what they envision the next Tomb Raider might be like.
While stereotypical characters are still fun and fitting for certain video games, it's nice to recognize characters that go against these stereotypes and make a unique name for themselves.
"1. Best place to start would be by telling you that I was born to Lord Richard Croft, Earl of Abbingdon, and Lady Amelia Croft in England on the 14th of February in the year 1968.
2. It seems that there are a few different accounts of how my life was before I became a world renown archaeologist. I actually prefer to keep it that way as I feel that my personal life should remain private.
3. With that said, my family solicitors, Hardgraves and Moore do an amazing job of dealing with repo..."
"She is arguably the first true female “icon” in video game history, and despite how many times she appears to die on screen, well… she never really dies, does she?"
"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is giving UK Plus members a chance to purchase the classic PSX Tomb Raider, two weeks before its actual release date via the PlayStation Store."
"In the UK, our friends at LOVEFiLM had wanted to poll their customers and users to what the best video game to movie adaptions were in preparation for this summer's blockbuster Prince of Persia starring Jake Gyllenhaal. So out of all the movies, which adaption topped the list? Silent Hill!?!?"
All Age Gaming's Ian Crane managed to obtain a piece of gaming history in the form of "The Art of Tomb Raider" which includes every possible significant piece of Tomb Raider art presented in a 568 page, two volume set. With only 2000 produced, this is something that would be a prized possession for any massive Tomb Raider fan. Ian provides us with his opinion on this unique piece of Tomb Raider history.
"After playing a joke on many game fans with our last Tomb Raider (or Fridge Raider) cosplay gallery, I wanted to make amends with those fans of Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider series who felt it was unfair to cast the character in a mocking light. So this week we present a real Lara Croft Cosplay Gallery."
"You’re standing in a dank dungeon, looking for a door that doesn’t exist. The lights flicker, and you hear the raging scream of a distant enemy. Flump, flump – the steps are getting closer. Arming yourself with your favourite weapon, you peer around a corner in the low light and you see him: the Big Daddy. By this time in the game, you have crossed over a mysterious threshold – your brain has mapped itself into the undersea world of Rapture and all you care about is saving your own skin. An i..."
"Fast-forward (or stage-skip) to 1982, when Caballero Control Corporation lost sway over horse-donged porn superstar John Holmes as he served trial for the Wonderland murders. One way in which the company stayed afloat was by moving into interactive smut, providing Atari gamers with a priapistic George Custer and a host of troubling Colonial rape fantasies in the form of the infamous Custer's Revenge. That same potential, flooded with the blood of commerce and culture, stood poised for a push ..."
"Speaking at BAFTA’s Annual Video Games Lecture last night, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux revealed what he believes to be the 5 most revolutionary games from the past 20 years.
In a typically passionate and engaging presentation, Molyneux spoke of the need for designers to defy perceived wisdom and custom, saying, “The best innovations come from challenging the foundation stones of conventional wisdom.” The 5 games selected by Molyneux were specifically chosen for their success in doing just..."
"Mastertronic has announced the release of three new compilation sets- Tomb Raider: The Greatest Raids, the Thief – The Complete Collection previously revealed by your very own Electronic Theatre, and Commandos Complete, bringing together your favourite classics in one exciting package."
"When quizzed on the possibility of more support for social networks and iPhone releases, Livingstone simply replied with a reinforcement of Eidos’ commitment to “exploring all platforms”, and creating “platform specific experiences”. He then denied a seemingly left field question about Rocksteady acquiring the Hitman licence, stating that it was “absolutely not true”, and “pure speculation”. Given that IO Interactive retains the development rights to the franchise, Electronic Theatre would be..."
"A source added: "Angie isn't a fan of the Transformers films and believes Megan won't do the Lara Croft character justice. She's also annoyed because she thinks Megan copies everything from her, from her tattoos to her style."
Ouch.
And Angelina isn't going to take it lying down - she is using her industry "experience" to launch a counter-attack.
It is rumoured she is working on a new all-action project which she hopes will challenge Meg's Tomb Raider effort."
Edge Magazine has produced probably one of the best ways to get a person to subscribe to a print magazine again... have an incentive being you get this bad ass "Pixel Poster" .. click "Go to source" to see what the image is and attempt to find every single video game included (I assure you.. it is too many, especially with the image being sized down). For the love of all that is holy, somebody please share in the comments the full size image!
