I don't remember who said it, but I do remember a famous saying which explained that the devil's cleverest wile is to make men believe that he does not exist. Hold on, I just googled it. It was Charles Baudelaire. Regardless, I'm still unconvinced. I think the devil's cleverest wile was making men believe that in the absence of any threat of reprisal, iconoclasm is brave rather than crude and divisive. Or that the banality of blasphemy is somehow more sophisticated than the boundless transcendence of the sacred. Just as a


Word Made FleshI'd first played the original Tomb Raider during my sophomore year of high school. That game was completely unpretentious in the telling of its story, and it was built around the abilities of a heroine who remained compelling without getting in the way of her own game. I followed the series for five years until the parent company of the beloved Lara Croft took her out of the able hands of her developers at Core Design and placed into the care of Crystal Dynamics.

Give me truth, with her gnarled and twisted face, her frightening visage, her cruel and raucous voice. The lie may be beautiful, but her beautiful face brings poison and death; truth, ugly though she may be...brings not death but redemption.
