"It was 15 years ago that the very first Tomb Raider game came out and Lara Croft stole the hearts of a generation of fanboys. Steam is celebrating the anniversary of everyone’s favorite gun-toting, buxom, British babe with a Tomb Raider Anniversary Sale that includes three games from the series. These low prices won’t last for long. Hurry up, and don’t miss your chance to head out on an action-packed adventure with Lara Croft for 66% off each game."
Goozernation takes a look at some of the top female video game characters in the last 20 years or so. Characters like Samus, Princess Zelda, Jill Valentine as well as a few others made the list. The big question is why did these ladies make the "best of" list, and why?
The Tomb Raider franchise has been around for a long time. Since 1996, Lara Croft has been exploring dangerous ruins, collecting ancient relics, and even slaying the occasional dinosaur. Now the famous explorer’s latest adventures have been compiled onto one BluRay disc for gamers to enjoy. The Tomb Raider Trilogy (for PS3) features Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and Tomb Raider: Underworld, plus some pretty basic extras. It’s not the strongest compilation, but it’s certainly ...
"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."
"The idea for this blog, as usual, came from my random thoughts after I saw that Tomb Raider is set to be revitalised for the umpteenth time, this time in the hopefully capable hands of notable developer Square Enix. It is to be a tale of Lara Croft's origins, one that is apparently to explain her very first adventure. Now, call me picky, but I'm sure this has been done before. It happened in Tomb Raider Last Revelation when Lara was younger and it also happened in Tomb Raider Chronicles and h..."
"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..."
"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.
Two new old games added to Xbox Live Games on Demand this morning. Neither game is sold new at retail anymore however and the Games on Demand price is jacked up too high for both. Disappointing after Microsoft appeared to be getting better with Games on Demand pricing.
"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."
"Facelifts and other forms of cosmetic surgery aren’t just for aging MILFs, dried-up Hollywood C-listers and 40 stone blobs who have to get forklifted out of their beds. No, sometimes our favourite game stars need a bit of a nip and tuck too. After all, there’s no point battling hordes of the undead or saving the planet from a cult of religious alien zealots if you’re sporting last season’s armour or an out of date ‘do. In the spirit of self improvement, the following image-conscious character..."
""With Bayonetta strutting into stores this week, it's time to take a look at the toughest female characters gaming has provided gaming with over the years. We're talking ladies of steel; the kind that don't need to be suffering with hormonal pains to rip your head off. Gone is the insistent need to shop and the power to chat your body into a vacant boredom – these girls have far more pressing matters to get on with. By 'pressing,' we mean they are out saving the world or imprinting their high..."
"I would suggest that, in fact there appears to be a total lack of strategy behind Microsoft’s pricing arrangement for the Games on Demand service, though it would be foolish to do so. You and I are both fully aware that this is just the first piece of a new digital distribution puzzle for the console manufacturer, and one that’s very likely to receive a lot of attention from both the media and consumers. It’s the fact that Microsoft have decided to do as Electronic Theatre initially suggested..."
"The question of the week this week involves the many different weapons introduced with gaming; some are possible but others are completely too bad-ass to be true. Weapons have been very created especially in the first person shooter genre (Including one of the most creative guns I have ever heard; the Landshark Gun).
For my favorite weapon I’m going to have to go with the Landshark gun from Armed and Dangerous. Actually, it’s better to say EVERY weapon from Armed and Dangerous, but we’ll f..."
"Why he's overrated: Speaking of 'roid rage, check out this loser. Marcus Fenix is the kind of muscle-bound buffoon that makes even guys like Kratos seem like introspective philosophers. His personality consists entirely of grunting, shouting, and shooting.
As much as Epic Games has tried to fool gamers by licensing tie-in novels and comic books, we all know the truth. There is no real story to be had for Marcus in Gears of War, aside from arm up, take aim and go on a bug hunt. It's all ab..."
"Eidos Interactive Ltd, creator of some of the world’s leading videogame properties, today announced that an exclusive Tomb Raider PSP Double Pack is making its way to PlayStation Portable exclusively throughout Europe on April 10th."
Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider series has come a long way since the original. One "noticeable" change is Lara Croft's chest. Over time it's had reductions and enlargements, oddities and perfections.
Gareth Seiler of lazygamer.co brings you the timeline of Lara Croft's chest!
"Honestly, you would not believe it, but Eidos' Ian Livingstone has revealed to Spong that the next videogame featuring one of the industry's biggest cash cows, Miss. Lara Croft, is "well in development." Current speculation points to the next-generation Tomb Raider effort being the second game in the trilogy that began with Tomb Raider: Legend.
In related news, Livingstone went on to elaborate on the decision to move the development of the franchise from the UK's Core Design over to t..."
"GameTap, the first-of-its-kind broadband entertainment network from Turner Broadcasting System has announced that it will be premiering the all-new Tomb Raider Re\Visioned animated series.
The short episodes will feature a number of well-known artists and writers who are re-imagining famous videogame icons from GameTap's vast library of titles."
"Youve mulled the decision of walking a tomb-raiding path originally trodden a decade ago, youve struggled with justifying coughing out good money for such a privilege, and youve scrutinised the comparison trailers that suggest vast improvements and gameplay enhancements now let the critics weigh in with their two cents."
