Tomb Raider UnderWorld,

Solid game. I dont know about the story, because I skipped all of the cutscenes. Which probably made the game twice as good as it normally is.

Lara Croft... the worlds worst archaeologist.
It seems like the developers purposefully made her as unlikable as possible. All she does is kill people and destroy undiscovered historical monuments. Isnt it about time we got over the "bad ass" female character, bucking the trend? Its 2010 not 1980.

And when she does "save the world" it always seems like an unintended consequence, because she was really out for revenge or some other Bad Ass purpose.

Its odd, because they always get the nicest women to do the voice work, and model for their publicity campaigns.
