That would be a victory for me on so many levels.

Yeah the brutalization of Lara in that trailer from last year's E3 was pretty intense and I'm a little ashamed to admit that it did hit my "chivalrous" side that made me want to protect her. Despite that, I have to say I was always impressed by how she always got up and trudged on regardless of the situation. In fact, from what I've read so far, she does stand up as a good image of a strong woman in video gaming with the only incongruous behavior being her apparent ease into the killing of humans despite apologizing for killing a deer. Regardless I think this game is going to be a win both for fun and engaging gameplay, and another strong female character.
