Lara Re\Visioned With Red Latex Henchwoman

If you're a fan of Lady Croft (and what self respecting lesbian isn't), this is for you. The final episode of GameTap's RE\Visioned Tomb Raider animated series is now live at their website. The episode 'A Complicated Woman' emphasizes Lara's... well ok, it emphasizes her breasts, but also her guile and sustainability, which is what we enjoyed about it, obviously!

Adding to the female quantity of this episode is a female katana wielding henchwoman in a skintight red latex bodysuit, which we hear is top of the winter fashion collection in HenchWoman Fashionista this month. The RE\Visioned Tomb Raider season featured 10 episodes in all. Season two has just been announced and will feature various Activision games heroes, including Pitfall Harry - a sort of male pixelated pre-cursor to the Croft.

Xbox Update & Carla Valenti

We're combining this news rather than drawing out two reports that are related. Firstly Carla Valenti, as female games characters go there are a few that stand out from the crowd and she is one of them. Carla appeared in the 2005 title Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy). How is this related to an Xbox Update? Well the looming December 4 update will include the ability to download original Xbox games. One of the games that will appear with the update is Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy).

If this somehow managed to pass you by, it's well worth a look. No Carla isn't a lesbian, but she is one cool kick ass female games character. Anyway her boxing scenes and white vest top and underwear scenes are bound to appeal to the tomboy in all of us. The original Xbox games will set you back around 1200 Points a piece. A little annoying given you may well be able to pick up a tangible copy for less in the sales bins. Fahrenheit is defnitely worth a look.

Lady Lara Croft in 2022

We're clever here at Lesbian Gamers, we can bend time and space like 'Hiro' and even hop into gamings parallel dimensions. We've done that especially for you and leapt into the year 2022 in the universe of Lady Lara Croft, to see what she's up to.

What's this? Lara is the president of Sarah Lawrence College - infamously rumored to be 'dyke central' at times. Lara lives on campus with her 'partner' Atlanta Blue, the head of the literature department and a lady who has similar alien routes to Lara - as an English woman living in New York. Apparently Lara has been resident at the College for 9 years, she has popular classes in Ancient History and Gender Studies. Needless to say she's extremely popular with both the boys and girls there, but her hands-on teaching style has occasionally perplexed some of the less liberal members of staff. Currently organizing a trip to the Catacombs of Paris for her class, Lara is hoping to find some original parchment of the Knights Templar.

As proof we're not yanking your chain, we took a screen capture of the parallel dimensions Sarah Lawrence College page. You can check it out HERE (thanks to ThumbBandits.com for hosting). Lara is looking goood for a 40 something teacher.

We'll be leaping forward on other female games character over the coming months, to see what they're up to in 15 - 20 years time. We hope you enjoy them.

Is Jade a Lesbian?

Any lesbian to have played the game 'Beyond Good & Evil', originally released by Ubisoft back in 2003, has perhaps pondered this very question. Is Jade a lady who likes other ladies? This is something we've long pondered, so let's look at what we know about our dark haired heroine and see what we can glean from it.

Jade is single, sassy and likes photography.. hmm.. so are a lot of women. She has a funky short hairdo, doesn't wear much make-up and when she does she opts for the non vaginal lip color of green over pinks and reds. She's 20 years old and owns her own company--Jade Reporting. She has (according to Ubisofts own words) "a marked taste for adventure and justice". She also wants to bring about change and fights against prejudice and propoganda.

How we doing so far? She also likes motor vehicles and adopts the nickname 'Shauni' as her alias. We're not saying that every girl who likes bikes and has short hair is a dyke, even though we'd like to think it.. but come on Jade exudes the lesbian vibe. Whenever I see her on screen, my gaydar goes crazy, much as it does with someone like, oh I don't know.. Jessica Biel for example.. ahem..

Whether Jade is ever outed or not doesn't matter to us here at Lesbian Gamers. In our hearts she will always be the cute baby dyke photographer and that's what imagination is all about.

Nathan Drake's Femme Sidekick

Ahhh Helen Hunt in Twister, there's just something about a cute lady in a vest top.. ahem where were we.. oh yes.. lady in vest top, which brings us neatly to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on the PS3. We've been persuing a few trailers for this macho fest and noticed a certain little lady (pictured). The girl in question appears to help Nathan Drake on his quest.

Now whether or not this blonde is one of those pathetic 'girly' wimp characters placed within the games framework to act as a tool for making the main character all that more macho, we won't until we've played it. Whatever the case, why even bother with Nathan Drake, when you already have the lovely Lady Lara to play with.. do we really need 'Dude Raider' when we'd rather push Lara's buttons?

Short Haired Lady Pirate - Cool

You know with a name like 'Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball' the developers are either flogging a pile of stinking you know what by linking two of the most popular genres together, or they've made a stand out peice of arcade fun featuring cool characters. Whatever the case, we won't know for sure until early 2008 when it launches on Xbox Live Arcade.

We did think it was cute the artwork included a lady pirate however, so here's hoping the game itself allows for playing with ladies, because y'all know how much we do enjoy that.

Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball will have sea-faring thieves squaring off against stealthy martial artists in beautiful environments. The game will allow for up to eight players and offer five teams, including pirates and ninjas and three more that will announced soon. Each team has their own unique style and techniques and is hell-bent on destroying the opposition.
