Not really, in the same sense that DS is not like bringing a marigold to a boxing match. Mobile is just different, more casual and more relaxed than ds and psp.

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> I love it when these coperations think that just adding a hot girl will make gamers buy the game.

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> The skinny girl + large sword + leather jacket + miniskirt + Phoenix Shadowalker name combo is screaming - ZOMG, liiike, please take me srsly!

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> So they came up with a character and threw a game around her. Great. The video game industry needs more innovation like this.

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> Talk about ridiculous, that chick's sword is larger than a telephone pole, even Kratos would have a hard time swinging that thing.

SwimOdin

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> Sex sells... that's why the hot chick main character. After all, how many copies do you think a game based on "The View" would sell? (If your number 1 in the ratings after season one, you can unlock Starr Jones as a playable character!)

Eltigro

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> ...by the gods. Do we really need ANOTHER femme fatale? people were bored of Lara after Tomb Raider 2 years ago but they kept going. I got nothing against the sexy ladies but c'mon now..Phoenix Shadowalker? they put a buncha words into a hat and pluck out this name combo? It sounds like a name you'd find in a Erotic Star Wars fan fiction. Why can't these women be bad asses like Pam Grier in Foxy Brown or Varla in Faster Pussycat Kill Kill?

CallMeRotten

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> @Kirbytheslayer: I think Betty's a better name personally. Goes with the peekaboo skirt, don't you think?

Chilly Hollow

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> Why is there a tripod exiting (or entering?!?) the back side of her skirt, she even has a coy tilt like she is helping it along...

Anyway, Game looks like a mix between Valis and Castlevania, while this combo sounds kick ass to me, I'm going to guess this isnt going to be the case here.

That IS funny.

Woodwater

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> The miniskirt and sword combo just looks ridiculous.

All we need now is a model with large breasts and we can be an advertising powerhouse in the gaming industry.

"Can we work in something Asian, maybe 'Katana' or 'Ninja'?"

"Good thinking Bob. Ooo, let's misspell one of the words. Like Busty Darknynja!"

"Perfect, brilliant!"

//Joe runs in.

"Gentlemen, I have it! My illegitimate pot-head stepson said this name as he stumbled past me today - Phoenix Shadowalker!"

//to intercom: "Sally, back that gorgeous rump in here with some champagne!"

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> @humorbot: I think it's rhetorical, as the name it would come up with would likely be better than Phoenix Shadowalker. Something like "Ook Fecalmatter". Come to think of it, that's a pretty awesome name. I declare copyright privileges.

Driving gloves? are you mad! they are specially engineered, leather, grip enforcers. Her pants are the special non sweat editions with patented "quick peek technology." :P


LittlestLamshi

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> @Polluted: Pff. Lara Croft is such a Samus ripoff >_>

Farginan

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> @frostcircus:

Actually, not from the press release. Good point.

Revised: Why can't we have a female protagonist without someone, even the developers, calling it a Lara Croft rip-off?

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> @The_Inquisitor: This chimpanzee you speak of... You have it? Because I have the glue.

humorbot

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> Oh, MAN - LOOK OUT, LARA CROFT! This girl is the real-life-model-pretending-to-be-game-character that is going to de-throne you! I'm sure that with the awesome power of cell phone gaming, we horny basement dwelling social rejects will be one-handing our way through what is undoubtedly going to be game of the century, starring Super-Cool-Name!

Oh, yeah, Glu Mobile? Choke on it. Unless you're trying to sell me nerd porn with this woman in it, then cut the "sexy" crap. No one's cell phone will be able to accurately depict her imaginary hotness well enough for us to give half a shit. Also, assuming we'll part with our currency because you made the protagonist a "sexy woman" is insulting. Not "you're a poo-poo head" insulting - but actually insulting.

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> Pheonix Shadowwalker?

Who the hell comes up with these names? I could get better names out of a lobotomized chimpanzee hopped up on glue fumes.

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> That 150 lb+ claymore... so sexy...
Cell gaming? Its like bringing a knife, no, a very short and blunt stick to a gun fight. With DS and PSP being the latter.

]]> <![CDATA[Mobile's Lara Croft?]]> Polluted, did you read their opening sentence?

That is the lamest name I have ever heard.

So yea, thanks for putting this sucker on my radar. Looking forward to finding out more about the gameplay and such.
