When did you first become interested in Lara and the Tomb raider Series?

I first played Tomb Raider when I was about 8 years old. My dad had bought our first Playstation and on the demo disk was Tomb Raider 2. I instantly fell in love and gathered the first four games that year.


What’s your favourite game from the series and why?

Tomb Raider 2 would have to be my favourite. I have played this one so many times! It really brought about a true Tomb Raider feel. It introduced so many new things that the original missed out on. It truly is a fantastic game!

What does Lara Croft mean to you?

Lara Croft is my second half. She means a lot to me! She was my Superman while growing up, she was the creative, smart, and sassy woman who I wanted to spend all my time with, and she was an influential character in my own perspective, allowing me to one day pursue a job in the field of Archaeology.


In each game, Lara has run into a new enemy, which enemy has been your favourite so far and why?

Natla from Tomb Raider 1 was the most involved and evil enemy from any game in my perspective. She was the one who tipped her off on an adventure that sold millions and helped to create the Croft we know today. She was hard boiled, double crossing, and one of those bad guys that just oozed cool!

What do you think the future holds for the Tomb Raider series?

I think the future for Tomb Raider is now a very bright one. Now that the instant success of Tomb Raider Legend has occurred, I think people are more interested in Tomb Raider and Lara Croft, and I only hope that we will see more Tomb Raider games in the future.


What has been the scariest moment for you when playing the games?

Wow. The scariest moment for me would have to be the suspense that can occur. Knowing that as soon as you walk into the next room and something is going to happen just kills me. But as for one moment that really caught me off guard? I'd have to say it's the first time I ran around a dark corner and a dog jumped out at me, or when the bear snuck up on me in the City of Vilcabamba. Those are scary and memorable.

It's almost going to be ritualistic! Like when I brought home Tomb Raider Legend I will probably lock myself up in my room and watch every single opening video, from the producers to the cool opening sequence. It's going to be a very tense yet relaxing experience as I enjoy this great moment in Video Game history all over again…
