I remember when the Tomb raider games were popular, some people still probably play them.
One thing struck me though and it was the fact that all my my mates were in love with Lara Croft, how sad I mean after all she is only computer graphics.
Ok you have the film now but I am not talking about that.
Can you tell me who could ever fall in love with a computer character?
The game was hugely popular, did people buy because it was a great game or did they buy it beacause of Miss Croft?
Does image really matter within a game?, I must admit when I play beat em ups I always go for the ones who look the coolest to play.
If image really mattered, can you tell me why then that a hedgehog and Plumber are two of the most played characters?
Do you think people are sucked in to buy games because there is a groovy chick in it, are we that gullable, it must be so otherwise the programers wouldn't do it?
Tell me your views, are you in love with a computer chick?
or are too mature to be caught up in that arena?
Let me Know

I don't like Lara. She's german. No offence but as you will realise later on in your life, only German girls carry guns. And have such large breasts.
The movie had crap storyline and people only saw it cos of Angelina Jolie
Anyway you would have trouble being an adventuring woman with long hair and a 36DD cos it would get in the way.
*ahem*

Although I do have a thing for Ulala from Space Channel 5...
I must admit that the space channel 5 chick does look alright.

The thing about Tomb Raider is that the Lara Croft character was 'unique' in the sense that she was the first mainstream FEMALE gaming character starring in her own title. You didn't have a choice, you HAD to play using her character.
Female characters have always been around in the form of RPG characters in PC games, but given the choice I always went with the Warrior who was wearing the most armor at the time (usually a bloke).
