      Angelina Jolie is Lara Croft. It’s the only thing I associate her with.

    2. Jim Says:

      she’s way hotter

    3. SuperSparky Says:

      Wow, an actual tasteful photo of her as Lara. Go to ve3d.ign.com to see the original released photos. All are gratuitous beaver shots of her in her Lara outfit and without underwear. All in very bad taste, and clearly done on purpose, not some sort of “accident”.

      Skank doesn’t begin to describe it.

    4. RightOn! Says:

      LOL Thanks Super Sparky!
      That’s good enough reason for me to go visit that site now!
      Woo!
      Nothing like some gratuitous shots to make everything else irrelevant!

    5. yea... Says:

      something tells me SuperSparky plays in the cucumber patch naked =/

    6. Eric D. Says:

      not to stray off topic, or make a personal attack… but you choose the alias SuperSpanky and have some sort of moral authoritarian attitude. i just find it kind of funny.

    7. Brnadi Says:

      I’d have to agree with Sparky.
      This is the only tasteful picture I’ve seen of her.

    8. tim Says:

      What an excellent choice. More action than actor and she looks the part. Certainly a step up.

    9. Andrew Says:

      yeah the actual link for the pics is http://ve3d.ign.com/images/game/14224308/PC/Tomb-Raider-Underworld

      and sparky…quit being a douchebag shes not a slut cuz she did some racy pics. you however are obviously a sexually repressed closet perv who has some form of abuse hidden in your psyche. so keep that shit to yourself.

    10. Ragarnok Says:

      Holy shit she was a receptionist?! How come my receptionist is old and on the less-sexy side?! it’s not fair!

    11. lockdown Says:

      holy hotness!

    12. Izkata Says:

      DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS!!!

    13. MarxandEngels Says:

      Meh. Looks like she’s wearing underwear to me - unless I’m going blind. But who cares either way - it’s not as though you can see anything, apart from where her tan line is….

    14. LEESUNG Says:

      I’d tape that

    15. chris Says:

      ^I tried, but the ign server has crashed!

    16. Jesseca Says:

      Dude. They’re called CONCEPT PHOTOS.

      She’s not playing Lara Croft in a movie. The photos were done in preparation for the release of the new game.

      And yes, the other photos do include some pretty gnarly beaver shots which highlight her bad bikini wax.

    17. JRT Says:

      Normally I’m all for gratuitous beaver shots, but those IGN images were a bit creepy.

    18. James Says:

      Yum

    19. NotSoSuperSparky Says:

      Hey SuperSparky, I don’t mean to offend you if I do, but are you a guy? If so are you of the gay persuasion?

    20. me Says:

      lol i thought spanky was over the top but after seeing the pics damn that is blatant.

    21. Anonymous Says:

      Just because a guy, if Sparky is a guy, criticizes a woman looking like a huge slut, it doesn’t mean they are gay. If you want to pretend to be macho because your afraid to admit women don’t have to be sluts, go ahead. I think it is pathetic that NotSoSuperSparky would assume such a thing about someone because they don’t want to look at creepy pictures of a woman dressed like Lara Croft.

    22. nibbles Says:

      Whatever you do, don’t criticize the photographer who told her to do a bunch of jumping high-kicks in short-shorts or the photo-stylist who selected those three images to be showcased out of the hundreds that were taken. Heavens no - avoid that like the plague. Please, resume the slut-shaming. That millennia-old Madonna-Whore dichotomy is really “edgy.”

    23. brian Says:

      Good move. Angelina Jolie is fine, but she doesn’t resemble Lara Croft at all. This is the direction I wish they would have gone with in the first place. Oh, and so, so, so fine. I’m pretty excited about this, as long as they don’t fu<k up the screenplay and she can act that is.

    24. captain kirkzorz Says:

      Hmm…I saw her in a gaming magazine 2 years ago, says shes was going to learn sas survival and have lots of language lessons. lol. btw i think she worked in topshop

    25. Dave Says:

      You spelled Britain wrong.

    26. chantix Says:

      DAMN, this one looks more like Lara than Angelina did. Can’t wait to see her in action!

    27. Jen Says:

      Chantix, she isn’t in a film. She’s just promoting the new game.

    28. Mentalpatient87 Says:

      She’s all well and good and I’m sure the mocap they get from her will make some awesome animations, but my main concern is with Lara herself in the new game. In the first games she was a sweet, flirty British girl who could by chance kick some ass. In the latest installment they chose the “bitchy dominatrix” role. That angers me. I think we have enough cold, insanely violent women in our games to satisfy the repress submissive gamer market. Can we please get more game-women like Alyx Vance and the old Lara Croft?

    29. http://www.squidoo.com/extra-money-to-your-paypal Says:

      She doesn’t look too bad to me. Even though I think Jolie was a great pic firstly.

    30. cody Says:

      What the fuck does tasteful mean, if you can’t handle a sexxed up video vixen then go away and watch something else, cuz theres plenty of teen boys who would love to see her nude.

    31. SpankyTime Says:

      Sorry to lower the tone but where can I find those beaver shots? She seems quite a clean girl in all the photos I saw, or perhaps I’ve just been using the internet for too long…
