GAMETECH: Rise of the Tomb Raider will make gamers fall in love with Lara Croft again

THEY might not admit it now, but a lot of gamers fell for Lara Croft when she first appeared on our living room screens, backflipping her way through the 1990s. 

She was the first console sex symbol, and the world fell at her feet.

These days, however, Lara is the one doing all the falling. She falls from Siberian mountain cliffs. She falls through the floors of religious tombs. She falls from broken beams. She falls from tree branches. She’d fall up a stairs if she could.
