Move over, Angelina Jolie. There’s a new Lara Croft in town, and she’s a 23-year-old gymnast from South London, Tomb Raider publisher Eidos announced this week.

I don’t follow this stuff but what I do know is that if you play Laura Croft in the game or the movies, you have something to brag about.

The new Laura Croft, is a 12 year gymnast, can pull off some of the games moves and is still training with weapons and survival techniques from the SAS. What a great gig, train the new Laura Croft.

Here is a little more from the story on :

Ever since actress Rhonda Mitra first took on the role of Tomb Raider heroine Lara Croft in 1997, Eidos has sought real-life counterparts for its acrobatic archaeologist heroine, and they’ve helped propel the video game series to worldwide sales topping 32 million. Up until now the British publisher’s picks have tended to be models or, like Jolie, movie stars, but Alison Carroll might just be the first Croft to have the physical abilities to do her famously acrobatic opposite number justice.

I have ran across something sort of disturbing. Here is a game that you can purchase for your Nintendo DS, now I am not saying that you should, but it might be funny.  As a gamer-girl myself, this game makes me want to vomit. :)

The game is called Duel Love, and it was obviously created by a girl. Girls have talent, but damn, this girl is definitely screwing up the image for other women out there! This seemingly weak game with a sick school-boy fetish in the middle of it actually is being marketed towards girls. I don’t know many girls would be into a game where you can wipe sweat off the little boy bodies of the characters.

The games’ central story is a transfer student, a girl, who discovers a secret fight club at her new school. The boys ask you to massage, wipe sweat and treat their injuries, all by using your little stylus.

The boys are super skinny, shirtless, hairless and even nipple-less, so I guess if that is what you are into, then go pick it up, it is out this month.
