Recently, talks with Tomb Raider publisher, Eidos, began to surface on the web. The identity of the proposing side wasn't revealed, that is until now. It's none other than RPG giant, Square Enix!
After failing to merge with Dynasty Warriors's publisher, Koe, Square Enix seems to not falter one bit in their quest to appeal to Western gamers! Eidos laid off alot of their employees after Tomb Raider: Underworld failed to reached its quota. Eidos seems to be positive about the merger, though.
We'll just have to wait and see about this! I didn't really expect this to happen! It seems to me that the two companies work in different areas in the gaming industry, I don't know how this will work out :S

Attention everyone! The new promotional Lara Croft is here! Alison Carroll isn't just pretty and sexy, but also used to be a gymnast! Which means, Alison Carroll, got the "curves" to do Lara's rather impossible gymnastic moves. Alison Carroll may not look a lot like Lara Croft, but Lara Croft keeps changing between games that it's hard to keep track of her "real" looks. So I guess it's fair to say that she's pretty and hot in her own regard! Also, she'd make a pretty good Lara!
"This is a fantastic opportuntiy and I am really looking forward to embracing Lara's world. I still can't believe they chose me to take on the role of Lara - and I can't wait to get stuck in. This is my dream job. I have always wanted to be an action hero and hope to be able to use my gumnastic ability to perform all of Lara's stunts."
Here's Alison's BBC interview:

The new Lara Croft game, Tomb Raider: Underworld is due this November for the PlayStation 3.
