I never understood CD's determination to "grow" Lara into something. It's like there's some imaginary "Tomb Raider" gauge they're filling up, but why not the first game? Why not the second game? It's all so arbitrary and artificial. The original Lara Croft was a complex character trapped...

As a woman, I can promise you that adventure was what drew me to Tomb Raider back in the day. Lara took me to fantastic places and did fantastic things. She endlessly interesting simply because she was an enigma. I can also promise you that Tomb Raider lost my custom with TReboot. It was so...

Onimusha series, sans 4.

Mugatu called and said he's suing. #Derelicte

We love Bob's Burgers, and Tina is my favorite character. She *is* awkward and odd, but as you pointed out, there's no effort to "fix" her. She's fine just the way she is.

As someone with motion sickness issues from FP games, did you have to include footage that just went in circles really fast? I can't play FP games. I'm *physically unable to* play games with a FP perspective, yet it seems more and more games are being released from this perspective only...

My biggest problem is that even those developers who are making horror games only make games from in first-person perspective. I can't play FP due to motion sickness. I wish developers would realize they are again reducing their customer base by only offering a first person perspective.

Well, I've got two to add to the list. They are both going to be knocked down because they don't meet all the requirements necessarily, but I don't think meeting all the requirements should really be a goal for a good character. They do, IMO, offer some palate-cleansing to the usual fare of...

I agree. I never played Tomb Raider because I wanted to watch Lara suffer and fail. I loved Lara because she wasn't a Victim, a Vixen or a Sidekick. She was a (an anti-) hero playing on her own terms. She was mature, seasoned, and beyond my understanding. She was . . . cool. She had style...

To answer your first question, yes. What something was "supposed to be" has very little bearing on what something is. And where did I complain about axe-swinging or hot-rod-driving? I said I felt the RTS - particularly after the game's marketing - to be out of place, awkward and not very...

I was so disappointed by Brutal Legend. As a big Psychonauts fan, I was hoping for more. The concept was brilliant, but the RTS was not the gameplay the game needed.

I keep hearing people say things like this, "now we can have "classic TR type games once this game is over." What on earth was stopping Crystal Dynamics from doing that with this game? Why must we always some personal, emotional trauma storyline? Couldn't they have just as easily wrote a...

Psychonauts. One of my all time faves, but Meat Circus makes me want to amputate my own foot.

I've always felt GOW2 was Kratos throwing a giant hissy fit. I never liked it, but I still like the game. A couple of lines at the start of the game--even read by Linda Hunt--simply do not explain Kratos' behavior--mostly because his behavior is too irrational. He's pissed at the gods so he...

I can't quibble with too many of his complaints. I loved the game, and actually liked the ending as it brought Kratos full circle. As for killing the other Gods, Kratos himself says in the beginning he's bringing the destruction of Olympus. It's the Age of Twilight, after all. While not...
