Is there anything Lady Lara can't do? She has sold over 28 million games worldwide, rocked with U2, graced over 200 magazine
covers, had two mega-hit Holywood films and chalked up over $1 billion
in franchising. What does she do for an encore? Lara is in the Guinness Book for ‘transcending the boundaries of
videogames and becoming a recognisable figure in mainstream society’.
Didn't even know there was a category for that.
“It
is a mark of the phenomenal success of the Tomb Raider series that 10
years after the first game release, Lara Croft is more popular now than
ever. It is fitting that she has been recognised for this remarkable
achievement.” said Ian Livingstone, the man who discovered Lara a decade ago. “The
new game Tomb Raider: Legend (on Xbox 360) utilises the very latest
capabilities in high definition gaming and Lara looks more stunning
than ever before.”
We were
wrong about the Guinness people. We thought all they did was measure
fingernails, count how many bees covered a wanna-be record setter,
weigh people and animals. Stuff like those. Who knew they were gamers,
too.
