Eidos Interactive, publishers of Lara Croft’s tomb raiding adventures, conducted a videogame related poll in the first days of February, and made some startling discoveries. It was revealed that 28% of voters would swap their current love interest for a romantic weekend with Lara; the most popular response on the questionnaire.
Gamers were asked a multiple choice question, in which they had to choose between a PlayStation 2, an Xbox, a Nintendo GameCube, a top of the range PC or a weekend in Paris with Lara. Coming a close second, 21% voted for a top-of-the-range PC. 15% opted for the PlayStation 2, while just 10% were eager to get hold of a Microsoft Xbox. Bringing up the rear, a measly 6% had the desire to own a GameCube.
Heartwarmingly, and fittingly for the most romantic time of the year, 19% said they were too much in love to care. Perhaps their other halves were with them.
