Today on Up at Noon Global Brand Director Karl Stewart clarifies recent controversy over the game and talks about Tomb Raider's showing at E3 2012 and the trials of rebooting a franchise.

The team also unearths an ancient Nintendo E3 Press Conference from 1988 (that's totally not fake and shot with Brian Altano), Destin gives you some pointers about online trash talking, and Greg goes nuts with firearms.

Also, jokes about Canadian football, bacon sundaes, tortoises, and excessive Left 4 Dead titles. Also, speaking of tortoises, look around for a special easter egg, hidden somewhere in the episode. At least I think it's hidden somewhere in the episode. They don't really tell me anything. They're all like "Hey, write this YouTube description" and I'm all like "Okay," and then they don't feed me.

I'm so very hungry.

Enjoy Up at Noon!!!

  • I don't see why this is such a big issue. If a male was put in the same position it wouldn't even be an issue at all. All of the double standards are stupid.

  • This new game is going to rock.

  • Tomb raider was a already a day one purchase for me since the announcement trailer but now I want to play the game more than ever..

  • Well thats for comedic purposes(LC), so really they shouldnt care about eithe

  • Between this and the EA article, IGN is really corning the market on being apologists for the publishers.

  • A great interview. Tomb Raider looks to be great and all the people up in arms about what has been said and shown need to grow up and move on.

  • screw the rap controversy, the burger king bacon sundae sounds far more interesting XD

  • Crack Rocks Rock

  • Why are people making a big deal about Lara getting raped? People don't make a big deal about Thelma and Louise. Why is it that it's only a big deal when it's in video games?
