The debate to
which this post refers has come back into gaming circles recently due to the
release of the Tomb Raider reboot, in which well-loved archaeologist cum pistol
marksman Lara Croft has undergone a few fundamental changes. Gone are the bare
legs with gun holders designed to look like suspender tops, the shining perfect
skin (even when crawling through Egyptian ruins and muddy swamps) and, probably
the most significant change, a reduction in breast size to something less
evocative of two swollen basketballs. In steps a young woman wearing cargo
pants, a generic vest top and covered in bloody grazes and dirt. It seems like
a change for the better, no?
