    I confess to an ignorance of the law surrounding this but given that your image is of Lara Croft who is a character that you do not own the copyright to, wouldn't that mean that your picture also falls under public domain?

    After watching this video I realized I've played them all! I started with the first one on PC, then the ones on PS1, PS2 and now on the XBOX 360. Let's hope the next one takes the series to another level.

    Am I the only one who noticed the 511 stars on Super Mario 64's footage at 2:23?
    And how many lives is that supposed to mean...?
    For such a great game, you could AT LEAST have used some legit footage.

    That PC isn't a PC - it's an Amiga.

    The new destiny of Lara Croft is now in the hands of Square-Enix.

    ATTENTION: In this film, without my permission, have used my two paintings.

    1) http://legendg85.deviantart.com/art/Tomb-Raider-2011-vol1-192075737?q=gallery%3Alegendg85%2F25782725&qo;=4

    I would like to know why this happened? Please indicate the source or the removal of my work from this movie.

    ...and I have to agree with Carolyn about the Opera House in TRII- most unrealistic Opera House architecture ever. :p

    Wow, I can remember when this first came out- serious blast from the past.

    @carolynmichelle
    The oddest thing about that watermelon joke is that it could mean either of two things: Lara's assets are such that she looks like she has watermelons stuffed down her top, or she's trying to 'compensate' by doing exactly so because her assets aren't enough. I suppose Steve Smith had not given more thought to that hyperbole.

    But really, her in-game model in The Last Revelation only appears to have bigger assets because it is a lot more updated compared to the earlier ones.

    @Gelugon_baat Not anymore; I was referring specifically to the earlier games in the series, up through perhaps The Last Revelation. Here's a quote I like from GameSpot's review of the PC version of that game:

    "It's also worth noting that all of those halfhearted attempts to rationalize the alluring Lara as a positive model of feminine power and mastery are getting harder to accept as her chest takes on the dimensions of the Astrodome. Poor Lara now looks like she's shoplifting watermelons in Cairo."

    I like looking at her ass!

    At 10:00, Carolyn said that her bosom is getting bigger with each subsequent game; I don't think so. It would seem so only because each subsequent game had the graphics updated and the in-game model of Lara changed, as Chris has cheekily suggested at 10:20.

    If one would look at the promotional art that the various game-makers of Tomb Raider made for her games, the later versions of Lara doesn't have assets that stand out as much as those of her versions in the first couple ones.
