The new Tomb Raider trailer has surely mesmerized me and I would have certainly married Lara Croft if she was for real. Hey wait a minute, she is real.

A new Lara Croft is in town and her name is Alison Carroll. She is now a part of a urban legacy of Lara Croft Models. “[Lara Croft] has everything a man would want from a woman and everything a woman would aspire to be like.”Bizarrely, Carroll has to undergo archaeology and weapons training before meeting and greeting the hordes of Lara Croft fans.

 That hasn’t stopped her posing for a few pictures, which you can find in our new Lara Croft model gallery. We’re not ashamed. Carroll will no doubt help create buzz around upcoming game Tomb Raider: Underworld, in exactly the same way previous model Karima Adebe did before Tomb Raider: Legend two years ago.

Tomb Raider is a legendary franchise and for good reason, Lara Croft, she is the reason. Lara is the most fantasized character in gaming till date, no wonder she has movies, books and even music albums named after her. The latest iteration in the series is called Tomb Raider Underworld and is due in a few months. A teaser trailer for the game was released recently, check it out below….also read the wiki summary of the game.

Differences from previous iterations in the series are that Lara’s environment will be an “interactive world that reacts and remembers”, such that footprints left in the mud or mud transferred to Lara’s knee from kneeling on the ground will be washed away by rain, the bodies of the foes she encounters will remain where she killed them, and any destruction to the environment she causes will be permanent. According to creative director Eric Lindstrom, this is “to not only reward the player for the effect they’re having on the world, but to give them navigational aids.” The game uses an animation blending system that allows Lara to interact dynamically with her environment, such as pushing foliage aside with one or two hands, depending on if she is carrying a weapon.  

It also features a “hybrid lighting model that combines dynamic lights with carefully created light maps” and a weather system that changes the environment, for example, “If Lara’s negotiating a wet ledge she’s more apt to slip or lose grip,” which makes “the environment … her adversary” for a large part of the game.

The upcoming title in the Tomb Raider series called Tomb Raider Underworld is still a few months away. But if you are a die-hard fan, you can always visit the Wiki-Page or look at a new batch of screenshots. Let me share some info about the game:

Tomb Raider: Underworld, previously known as Tomb Raider 8 during early development, is the eighth game in the Tomb Raider series and the third game in the series to be developed by Crystal Dynamics. It will resume the adventure from where Tomb Raider: Legend left off and address elements of the plot left unexplained in Legend and Tomb Raider: Anniversary, which are Crystal Dynamics’ previous games in the series. It will be set primarily in Southern Mexico, particularly in Chiapas, where Lara Croft uncovers portals between her current world and the underworld, Xibalba

Do you know who Silvia Shon is? I don’t, but I do know that she flashed all over the internet a few weeks back, dressed or rather undressed as Lara Croft. Although there have been many Lara avatars like Karima Adebibe (see below) the current one.

This unoffical model has gained popularity because she has appeared as most gamers want to see her, dressed in the “Bare” minumum. Unfortunately for you, I wont be linking this blog to the Silvia Shon page because of the mature content, what I will do is display a few of the good pics here, enjoy. In case you are somebody who is die-hard Lara fan, you can always search for the Silvia calendar online and it might fetch you the desired result.
