Tomb Raider is a name that, for many, is synonymous with controversy in the gaming universe. Most men will think sexy and most women will think over-sexualized.

Our titular tomb raider Lara Croft no longer wears the impractical booty shorts of yesteryear and nor are her breasts humorously disproportionate. This tomb raider is the soft and fragile city girl from current days. She’s not on...
Rotolla is a quick paced puzzle game with a very easy-to-grasp concept. The layout is a large hexagon with sever al different colored symmetrical blocks that fall from the center.
