Also, whatever happened to Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor? Oh, I think I know what happened. Movies happened. Their characters are generally better. And even then, I seem to remember Ripley in her panties, and if that scene isn't gratuitous, I don't know what is. Let's stone her to death, that whore.
High fives! I don't see an interesting male protagonist since what? Gordon Freeman, the first one? The average game male hero is shallow as a shower. And if you think of the movies they mentioned Sarah Connor didn't do that great against the terminator, she had a male helper sent from the future. And Ellen Ripley was amazing, but she was the fantasy of a 14 year old kid, mine at least when I was 14. In her final fight against the 8th passenger she was wearing panties and a tank top, for she was about to enter her cryo pod. Oh, how I loved that

Anyway. Someone Can explain me what's the point of this article? What they want to show? I mean they are writing about Lara then about Kill Valentine :P and Sarrah Connor. It's like some kind of grief list that doesn't make much sense.

Honestly, I go to this site for the competitions and such. But I agree, the way the article is written doesn't match up and .. Sucks.

Personally, i have always found Lara to be this sexy, strong, independant woman and i have never really found that she was under dressed or a sex icon but this is my opinion. I mean yes she is not fully clothed but it's not like normal people dont walk around the streets in shorts and belly tops

besides i havent seen her prancing around the jungle in a skin tight leotard or a g-string and bra as her Main outfit but in underworld she had the wetsuit though it was not her Main outfit and personally i would have prefered it if the wetsuit had come down to her knees that would have been more realistic 4 the game cos your not going to go in the sea which is cooollllddd with your bare legs hanging out
Also we have the bikini's in underworld and legend but they are unlockables and they are jus 4 fun
