Well, the good news is that there's an actual bare female breast in Tomb Raider: Legend. The bad news is that it isn't Lara Croft's. The worse news is that it's not even viewable unless you hack the game.

We're linking you to xboxic.com, in which the author of the post immediately begins hyperventilating about America's hypocrisy over the exposure of a bare human breast. Yes, yes — hot coffee, right. Because interactive, rhythmic sex games are the same as a bare breast. Anyway, xboxic.com claims this will delay the release in the US. But Firing Squad actually bothered to call Eidos, who says that the breast is only hackable in the Euro versions of the game, which is already out. It won't delay the US version.

So a visible breast, only available to European hackers, not belonging to Lara Croft, that won't delay the release of the game. Not news, in other words. Except that it allows us to post a jpeg of a disembodied breast, eerily floating upon a muddy texture. There's worse ways to start your weekend.
