Die young, stay pretty

Guess I better forget about playing Lara's new outing Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness then. Gamespy reviews the PS2 version of the game and thinks it's downright lousy. The graphics apparently are pretty nice, but the controls are a dog, there are severe slowdowns in gameplay and mid-level loading screens, stupid bolted-on character enhancement quests, and the character interaction isn't worth much either. On top of that, there are many silly glitches and bugs, some even freezing up the PS2. The reviewer concludes,
[Lara Croft] was smart and sexy, and she gave us something that we couldn't get from any other game at the time. But the years have not been kind to Ms. Croft. When we asked her to show us something that would get us excited again, she opted for breast-enhancement surgery instead.
Ouch... Another game icon's reputation squandered. Debbie Harry sang it in a Blondie song, icons and heroes should Die young and stay pretty.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
