Laura Croft and the Tomb Raider series is one of the most lucrative gaming series in the industry. The beautiful female heroine has been in our games, movies and comics. In 2006 the Guinness Book of World Records recognized her as the “Most Successful Human Videogame Heroine”.

The series hasn’t announced a new title since 2008’s release of Tomb Raider Underworld. Today Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics announced their plans of the new Laura Croft game. Not much has been released other than the logo above, which surprisingly doesn’t keep the Tomb Raider name. It is believed that more information will be announced at this year’s Game Developers Conference held on March 9th.

Word has been that the female character has been redesigned to be a more empowering character to draw in more female gamers. Laura Croft is a brilliant and sexy character in video-games, but she has been given the title of eye candy being one of the first most recognizable female characters. At this time videogames have the impression of being a boys club but with current market trends the industry is hoping to have more girls enjoying this form of entertainment. It will be exciting to see how Laura Croft has been redesigned to appeal to the female audience.

The trailer for Halo:Reach was released today, and now you get a chance to see some of the game play of the latest addition of the Halo Series.

Now in the trailer you do get to see for a glimps that Jet Packs will be avaliable. This is totally Awesome, because Jet Packs will add a new addition to game play. A recent critic by Zero Punctuation explains how awesome Jet Packs in shooting games can be. Now he is critiquing Dark Void, which the game unfortunately didn’t do that well in his opinion, but the Jet Packs are awesome. This new addition to game play will bring lots of hope to awesome adventures in the next Halo installment.
