Over the last few days, I’ve been playing the new Tomb Raider title, and reading up on the older games in the series. One of the things which has most struck me is how much more sophisticated the general level of discussion is on mainstream gaming magazines and websites these days. 

Anyway, I thought I would share a couple of gems with you. I’m going to read back a couple of these next time I feel down about sexism in games. Yes, we’ve got a way to go, but look how far we’ve come. After all, remember Nude Raider?
