HEROINE LARA CROFT
Copyright 2008 www.tombraiderchronicles.com
[ February 4th 2008 ]
British
aristocrat Lara
Croft has been anointed into the Guinness
World Records Gamers' Edition. The Tomb
Raider star has scored her own double-page
spread packed full of facts including fastest
selling Tomb Raider game, highest grossing motion
picture, most recognisable female video-game
character along with trivia and information for
the most ardent of fans.
One prominent
entry of note is fastest Tomb Raider competition
time, an accolade held by Stacy Corron who managed
to finish the original Tomb Raider adventure in
an incredible 2 hours, 39 minutes and 30 seconds
with no less than two smoking thumbs.
Top tips
are also featured, including directions to a secret
treasure room hidden in Tomb
Raider II. Other hidden gems include Toby
Gard's classic "mouse slipped, honest Gov!" rebuttal
when designing the finer proportions of Lara Croft,
and a revelation that Lara Croft was originally
to be named Laura Cruz in order to appeal to a
wider U.S. audience.
Guinness
is currently recruiting gamers for sensational
world records to be included in the new Gamers'
Edition, launching in February 2008. If you think
your name should be in the ultimate guide to the
greatest computer and video-game facts and feats,
direct your mouse to the fetching
orange hyperlink and stake your claim.
