Hum,
not as shocking as this...
"In an attempt to appeal to more female players, the creators of computer game icon
Lara Croft have re-vamped her image to remove one of her most prominent and remarked-upon features - her generous bust.
(oh so last seasons look)
For years, Croft's gravity-defying chest, waspish waist and long legs have delighted teenage boys playing the various editions of Tomb Raider, the computer game in which she stars.
According to Saturday's edition of The Times newspaper, British computer game firm Eidos, which created Croft, has changed her physique to one less likely to put off female players.
In the soon-to-be-released Tomb Raider: Legend, the eighth title to feature Croft, her
DD-size bust has been reduced to a more modest C-cup and some of her more revealing outfits have been ditched, the report said.
The adventurer even sports a modest round-neck sweater with full arms for part of the game, the paper added.
"
Lara's been on a diet and she's definitely gone down a cup size, but she's still quite well proportioned." - Toby Gard, the original creator of the character.
Created in the mid-1990s, Croft's series of adventures have made huge profits for Eidos, and were turned into a pair of films starring American actress Angelina Jolie as the eponymous heroine."
Not that i give a frag either way...i do think she`s one of the last century’s social icons; almost as important as Homer Simpson in shaping western culture.
Doh!of course i have bothered to play any of the tomb raider games; it doesn’t interest me.
But that`s due to the `third person perspective` rather than her bust size or outfit.
