Eidos reveals new eye candy for the masses

We still don't have many details regarding what will exactly happen in the latest Tomb Raider title, Underworld, but one thing is for sure: Lara Croft is wet, and hot and sexier than ever! The newly released high-res, next-get, eye-candy screenshots featuring the most beloved female character in a video game can prove at least one thing: if the gameplay will fail or if the story will suck you'll always have Lara to look at and forget about all the trouble.

And all these are possible since, as we have reported earlier, the developers have for Lara a full motion capture system "to bring a more natural fluidity to her movements, with proper weight and secondary motion." Now, excuse me for being rude, but that part with "secondary motion" I can barely wait to see.

Now, the great thing for us is that these screnshots could be gameplay screens, and not some very polished cinematic stills and if this is true, we can already say that we will have the best looking Tomb Raider Game in the series. If the developers will manage to bring us a great gameplay, too, with super puzzles waiting to be solved, Underworld and Lara Croft will definitely make it to the history books.

Tomb Raider: Underwold is the third Lara Croft game developed by Crystal Dynamics and the ninth game in the series. It has been confirmed for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, as well as PC systems but, except the fact that the story will follow our heroine after the events in Tomb Raider: Legend, we don't know too much. Oh, yeah: Lara is hotter than ever, that's what we know for sure.

If you don't believe it, or you just want to take a peek, check the following screenshots to see some big and firm... uhm... rocks and two long, slim and (of course) wet black cats.
