I remember playing the original Tomb Raider as a teenager, and while Lara did have "sex appeal," it was the action and violence I enjoyed the most. Let's not kid ourselves--violence sells video games. Imagine if Lara Croft never died and never killed anything/anyone. She wouldn't be Lara Croft. Almost every photo in this article shows a woman holding two guns. She is a killer, and I love her for that.
