Ah, now this is more like it. Tomb Raider Legend’s Lara is positively glowing. A realistic waist – well, for someone who only throws up every second meal – a face that actually looks like, y’know, a human and a fetching new wardrobe.

Pass us some buckets of ice water, because we need a rigorous cooling down. Seriously, our favourite peg-legged science man is looking fine after his Half-Life 2 redesign. The well kempt greying face fuzz, those dignified wrinkles; yup, this is a man who knows his scientific shit. Although you can’t see it in the shot above, his prosthetic leg gives him a dangerous edge that juxtaposes those dreamy eyes… sorry, we’re getting lost in them again… eh, perfectly.
