In her archaeological quests she sees more diverse scenery than a series with Attenborough. Peru, China, Mexico, the Norse Underworld, the list goes on (she must get some serious frequent flier rewards). In a single game of Tomb Raider you can traverse several exotic and far-flung locations. After all, she is a member of the aristocracy, you know. And not just in a rough and tumble kind of way either. She won them because she was just as good if not better than any man. The fights she won werenвЂ™t won just because she was a woman. She dropped the damsel in distress trope used by many, and instead forged her way confidently through any situation she found herself in. Lara was the first woman to unapologetically lead a franchise on her own. Samus? DonвЂ™t lie, you thought it was a dude under that power suit. As soon as those guns come out, you know it is time for business.Д¬an you name one other lead that was undoubtedly female in video games pre-1990s? Go onвЂ¦ I will wait. Pulling them out of her thigh holsters mid-backflip and offloading rounds into Egyptian deities (or endangered species - sorry Green Peace) is one of video gamingвЂ™s biggest highlights.Д®ven in 2013вЂ™s rebooted timeline, where bow-and-arrow attacks were favoured, LaraвЂ™s climactic showdown on Yamatai concludes with twin pistols filling our antagonist with lead. Lara wields her pistols in a fashion that cannot be replicated. Speaking of duel pistols, I come to my next point: her weapons. The image of Lara Croft and her duel pistols can be conjured up on the spot within the minds of every generation. Men, women, and children all over the world know who she is, even without picking up a controller to defeat dinosaurs and evil rulers of Atlantis.

Her fame spreads further than just gamers. I even remember seeing a husband bring a cardboard cutout of her onto on an episode of a daytime talk show I watched growing up, calling Lara Croft the third person in his marriage. Her hot pants and polygon figure have been featured in countless magazines, on posters lovingly taped to bedroom walls, and in sports drink adverts for over two decades.

LetвЂ™s be honest, if you ask someone to name a gaming heroine, they are going to say Lara Croft. But who is the ultimate leading lady? Here are 5 ways that Lara Croft from Tomb Raider is the ultimate video game lead, and 5 ways that it is UnchartedвЂ™s Chloe Frazer. So, two great franchises, and two great heroines who are on their way from a gaming platform to the cinema. Naughty Dog even created a whole game around her heritage, making her the lead in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, a standalone game in which Nathan Drake only receives a passing mention and absolutely no screen time. And while, yes, Uncharted is fronted by charming rogue Nathan Drake, there is no denying that Chloe Frazer can absolutely hold her own. Given what I have told you, and if you follow me on my social media platforms вЂ“ check it out!), you will know that two of my favourite franchises are Tomb Raider and Uncharted, so you can imagine my excitement when I heard that a new Uncharted film and a sequel to 2018вЂ™s Tomb Rider will be coming to the big screen in the future.Д«oth of these franchises are known for their strong characters and for having a female protagonist or two to shine in starring roles. And as such a fan of video games and their film counterparts, I follow the news about upcoming releases, castings, set locations et cetera from any source that I can find.

Yes, they are corny, over the top, and never quite seem to land with movie critics, but so what! I think they are great. So, I will start this article with a confession: I absolutely love video game film adaptations.
