Blackmoor Vituperative

I love Lara Croft. I think she’s one of the best role-models that popular entertainment has to offer: she’s strong, smart, independent, adventurous, she knows how to fire a pistol, and her clothing is always practical (sexy, yes, but practical sexy, rather than Bloodrayne sexy). Well, there’s a new Tomb Raider on the horizon: Tomb Raider: Legend. Here’s a blurb I got in my email today:

Head on over to the Official Site and check out the massive update we’ve just posted!

It’s been a bit quiet on the Tomb Raider front lately but with this new update the site is busting at the seams with new downloads and information on Lara’s upcoming adventure!

We’ve got some hot new game info for you to check out — storyline, character bios, location information and much more! There are tons of new screenshots for all console versions — including the recently announced PSP version! We also have art from the game, early concept art, AIM icons & wallpapers and finally more ORIGINAL fan art from you — the Tomb Raider fans!

We’re also pleased to release DESKTOP LARA!

What is DESKTOP LARA you ask? Go to www.tombraider.com right now and find out!

Also, Lara needs your help! We are very excited to announce that Lara has been nominated as one of the greatest British Design Icons on the BBC’s Design Quest!

This is another great opportunity for Lara, so let’s all go show our support and cast your vote here now!

“Desktop Lara” is really cute, although I am suspicious of anything that downloads its parts from the Internet without telling me what it’s doing.
