I think I'm in love with Lara Croft 


I know what you're thinking: "This guy is so behind the times!" Yeah, I know you all fell in and out of love with her back in the 90's, but love is timeless.

After seven games, a whopping five of which were terrible, Lara is back in Tomb Raider: Legend, a game that promises to return her to her former glory. And yes, there are boobs. Tomb Raider: Legend promises to return Lara Croft's boobs to their former glory. For the first time in the series, the game features an all new integrated physics system, which allows the player to solve puzzles based on real-life interactions with objects. The physics system even applies to Ms. Croft's ample bosoms, which carry their own mass and physical properties. A specially trained division of programmers, collectively known as the cantaloupologists, worked nights and weekends to perfect the code necessary to deliver the high poly count and jigglometrics that today's gamers have come to expect of next-generation bazongas. The breasts of Lara Croft even have rudimentary AI that allows them to jiggle warningly in response to danger. Included in the list of threats are exposure to water, fabric, and jiggling.

For this latest installment, game designer Crystal Dynamics has opted to create a more realistic Lara than in previous games. That means her face finally has some detail, her waist is slightly less wasplike, and the size of her afore-mentioned bosoms has been reduced from "tyrannical" to merely "inhumane". I think this is a step in the right direction. I also think Crystal Dynamics should be commended for their commitment to realism. For instance, when Lara emerges from water, her clothes and body are wet and gleaming and water droplets fly from her glistening body as she runs and leaps into the air, gracefully catching hold of a wooden pole with a delicate grunt. It is details like this that are absolutely Vital in maintaining the gamer's suspension of disbelief, and it is admirable bits like this that separate a distinguished developer from a forgettable one.

Anyway, where was I. Oh yes, I'm in love with Lara Croft. Not in the I-love-this-woman-I'm-gonna-jump-on-the-couch kind of way, though; I consider our love to be intimate, private and unspoken.

Oh no, I'm not the first, and I certainly won't be the last to fall for this British firecracker. But, the way she lets me move her... there is no closer bond than this.
Some day I will dig through her layers of icy composure, raid the tomb of her heart, excavate her love, and encase it in glass.

So, the demo is a lot of fun. If you've got a PC with enough power to handle her, I mean, it, I mean the demo, try her out. It. The demo.
