Considering the large number of positive reviews from players and media sources, the only thing suspect here is this review.

I would guess a bunch of those are people that never played the game that are annoyed with the people that keep talking about it.

"... I sometimes felt like I had lost track of what everyone actually wanted."

Both Samsung and Sony have admitted sales are trailing expectations and are weak. In many corners of the industry, 3D TVs are considered a flop. In fact, a recent study showed that even people that have purchased 3D TVs don't use 3D content.

The battery life is actually longer on this version, probably due to a larger battery. It's in the article above - read it.

No, it's more likely because they do actually serve an older demographic in Japan that likes the easier to read large screen, just like with the DS XL.

Real? What? My girlfriend watched the video and was totally turned off because of much she bounced off of crap and survived - it was ridiculous. The only thing "slutty" about the old Lara was the huge chest — they could have tuned that down a bit and been find. This is sickening, its more like some sort of torture…

It's a trade show, not a press event.

So, in other words, take the work away from the models - they won't mind the lack of income. What?

no one is suggesting you have to like it, but as long as we have a free society based on capitalism, it will exist no matter how much people whine, complain, and write articles on it. Always and forever the best way to make a point isn't to complain - its to be positive and explain the better choice. The moment you…

Blah blah blah sex sells blah blah blah.

That's not unlike the real game == there's a huge psychological aspect to playing soccer and getting the other team to draw a foul.
