We’ve all heard the news. Lara Croft is back, and she doesn’t look a day past twenty. That’s because developer Crystal Dynamics is changing everything Lara stands for. No more bouncing boobs. No more nude shower scenes. Lara Croft is slinging on her backpack (unless that skeleton in The Last Revelation still has it) and getting ready to raid some tombs like never before.

When it comes to horror video games, Resident Evil tops the chart, nails the head shots, and splatters the screen with blood and gore. Although the popular series changed its mainstream viral formula with the "action horror" award-winner Resident Evil 4, fans still consider the second game a hot favorite. Leon S. Kennedy may be a teenage girl's knight in zombie gut-stained armor now, but he wasn't always such a looker who rolled with Umbrella's punches as slickly as the bad puns and bingo jokes. Once upon a time in Raccoon City, he was a rookie cop whose first day on the job ended in city-wide decimation.

But Harry Mason's investigation into the fog-covered town and its strange occurrences accomplished more than just a household name among the likes of Resident Evil. The heart-pounding adrenaline rush introduced gamers to a nightmare founded on psychological Japanese horror and an equally unnerving musical score by composer Akira Yamaoka.

Few video games arouse genuine nirvana in players, but even less promise a blossoming underwater world only to swallow gamers whole and leave them wanting more wretched decay, both lovely and sanguine.

From childhood to adulthood, Naughty Dog has remained one of my favorite game developers out there. As a PlayStation owner for the majority of my life, it brings me the faintest amount of self-indulgent pleasure that all the alternative console elitists out there (the ones who refuse to pick up a PS3 for reasons other than price or dwindling ports on their television) don't get to experience the exclusive Uncharted series. The sequel recently took the charts by storm as it featured a multiplayer option that only added to the wealth of praise Among Thieves received. As dandy as that is, I took the time to sit down with the first installment before charging toward the latest and greatest.
