A Reboot That Finally Works

So many different characters are getting the "gritty reboot" treatment - be it in TV (Ichabod Crane - badass from history!), movies (Batman and Superman are now officially depressing) so why not video games? Now, let's talk Lara Croft - Tomb Raider. When it first came out, there was one reason this stood out from the other action heroes - well, two reasons and they were both pixelated. That's right - you play an action hero... with boobies! Hooray for misogynistic video game developers! And the sequels (not to mention the two movies starring Angelina Jolie) did little to dissuade the idea of a "sexy" adventurer. But last year (by just a couple of days as I'm writing) Lara Croft was reinvented - and as an origin story it was dark but it was done right.

Presentation: Definitely some goo...
