According to ShowBizSpy (linked above), Hollywood is trying to persuade Angelina Jolie to again play Lara Croft in a new Tomb Raider movie.
To quote: And, with the release of the eighth game, Tomb Raider: Underworld, due this winter, movie bosses are keen to explore the possibility of Angelina bringing the character back to the big screen.
A source says, "Lara is such a fantastic character and the games lend themselves to movies so well.
"Even though the first two movies were not very well received, there is still a lot of confidence in Lara and Tomb Raider as a franchise.
"The producers would dearly love to get Angelina back in the role and the door is being left open to her. This would be a far darker movie with a lot more emphasis on storyline."
Here are Yahoo's picks for the Top 20 games of fall, 2008:
Lego Batman
Platforms: PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP, DS

Utilize a wealth of Bat-gadgets to survive over 30 levels in another comical Lego adventure.
Why It's Hot:
It's Lego. It's Batman. If you can't suss out why this is hot, we're not sure we can help you. Go sit in the corner and put on your Bat-dunce cap.
Why It's Not:
We stand by these Lego games because they are that very rare breed of video game that appeals equally to parents and kids. Still, they're all sort of the same game. If you've played Lego Star Wars and Lego Indy, don't expect a huge change in gameplay with the blocky D... More »
With Angelina Jolie tending to her ever-growing brood of children, a new woman has stepped into the role of Lara Croft - British gymnast Alison Carroll.

The modern world has a lot to answer for. Society has changed, and with it so has the way in which new products are brought to the public eye. Long gone are the times when a simple radio jingle would send people crazy for some new toothpaste. Now is the time for innovation.
Lets be honest, innovation actually means bombardment. Everywhere we turn, there is someone lurking around the corner, ready to pounce on our eagerness of spending and trying to make a quick buck at our expense. Trying to palm off any goods they possibly can in order to part us from our hard earned cash. Of course, some people are more successful than others.

The sharp increase in both gas prices and the speed at which our female pop superstars age may tell us that we're living in a far different world than the year 2000, but one fact remains: Like all good things worth bingeing on, the PS2 is cheap and plentiful.
While the PS2 does lack the "oomph" of the new generation of consoles, when looking at the system's future release list, there's something to be said about the active life of seniors. The groundbreaking, blockbuster games of tomorrow, with their accompanying Internet arguments already going strong, obviously won't grace the meager PS2. However, the past few months... More »
