I am happy to admit that I find it a little unsettling that a computer game has an ambassador who’s sole job is to fly around the world turning young men on in an attempt to get them to buy the game.

I am also happy to admit that it’s a brilliant idea and one I wouldn’t mind seeing replicated by a few other franchises… Who wouldn’t want to meet the Locust Queen?

Anyway back to the point, Lara Croft (Alison Carroll) is coming to South Africa to personally launch the latest Tomb Raider game, Underworld.

So if you are in Johannesburg tomorrow make sure you get down to BT Games at Northgate at 10:30 to see if she is really this awesome in real life…

Full details are available on the BT Games website

For those not lucky enough to get to BT Games or who prefer to keep the mystery click through to see my favourite Alison Carroll photo.
