Lara Croft has today been awarded into the Guinness World Records Gamers'
Edition. The Tomb Raider star has scored her own double-page spread packed
full of facts including fastest selling Tomb Raider game, highest grossing
motion picture, most recognisable female video-game character along with
trivia and information for the most ardent of fans.
One prominent entry of note is fastest Tomb Raider competition time, an
accolade held by Stacy Corron who managed to finish the original Tomb Raider
adventure in an incredible 2 hours, 39 minutes and 30 seconds with no less
than two smoking thumbs.
Top tips are also featured, including directions to a secret treasure room
hidden in Tomb Raider II. Other hidden gems include Toby Gard's classic
"mouse slipped, honest Gov!" rebuttal when designing the finer proportions
of Lara Croft, and a revelation that Lara Croft was originally to be named
Laura Cruz in order to appeal to a wider U.S. audience.
Guinness is currently recruiting gamers for sensational world records to be
included in the new Gamers' Edition, launching in February 2008. Go to:
