According to Robert Brent, the chief financial officer of Eidos, Lara is in need of a make-over.

“We need to look at everything, as we develop the next game. Look at how Batman changed succesfully, from the rather sad character of the Michael Keaton era to the noir style of The Dark Knight.”

Yes, because the problem with Lara is that the girls don't like her as much as they should. It has nothing to do with Underworld being a rushed and unpolished piece of average-ness (click here for my review), no, the poor sales are simply due to Lara's aesthetic.

Really? If she was real I would be ON THAT. BAM. So anyway, a 5 for Underworld? Really? I think it's a pretty spectacular game. I don't know if I like it as much as anniversary but it's still an 8 for me.

5 is average - not good, not bad. Nothing massively wrong with it, nothing incredibly right about it either.

What if we take away her large boobs? That face really can't be doing anything for you.

Got to agree with Michael Keaton being a very decent Batman. Nothing wrong with him.

Would've added emphasis if you dropped Clooney's name instead, Robot.
