Lara Croft May Get Naked to Save Game Company

Eidos, the maker of the Tomb Raider game, may save the company by letting Lara Croft get naked in the game (based on the presumption that the game would be more popular). The company is in trouble financially, and a post on a Tomb Raider site by what is believed to be the company's creative director Eric Lindstrom says the game's "Teen" rating isn't necessarily going to stick in the future, implying that an NC-17 rating could be where the game is headed.

It's sad that they believe they have to take steps like that just to make their games sell. In my opinion, the better step to take would be to make a new Tomb Raider game that doesn't suck.

I dont know. Would Lara Croft actually be hot if naked? Her appeal is the uniform and gun. If naked, she'd just be 'a girl'.

As a DOA & Rumble Roses sexy pixel fan, It has some appeal. However, maybe it's a sign you have taken the franchise as far as they can? Another Movie is what they need to boast sales. While Lara in the nude is nice, Ms. Jolie would be better.............

With the easy availability of free hardcore photos and videos on the internet, exactly who would they be targeting? They would just be wasting their time and lowering themselves to the level of the smutmongers.

The sad part is, since Tomb Raider came out, there's probably been at least thousands of "Nude Raider" pictures that've been created, and by now, it's not even that novel. Now if Nintendo would suddenly flip a switch and make M-Rated versions of their big three franchises, THAT would have an impact. Tomb Raider, meh.

Make a better Game...

Lara's cool and all but she only appears in the one game and everytime its the same pommy crap...

Why wasn't she a special guest character in Soul Calibur 4?

Better gameplay something new etc...
