Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft is the most iconic character in gaming, according to the results of a new poll from BAFTA.Ahead of the 20th BAFTA Games Awards on April 11, the organisation shared a survey to determine the most iconic gaming character of all time. Over 4,000 people from across the world took part in the survey, and now BAFTA has announced the results.Lara Croft has topped the poll, beating out Mario (who came second) and Sonic, who was voted the fourth most iconic character of all time.In a statement Shelley Blond, the original voice actor for Lara Croft said: “I had no clue when voicing the original Tomb Raider game that it would be such a global phenomenon and neither did Eidos or Core Design.
They had only ever done children’s games before and of course they hoped it would be a success, but I think it went above and beyond any and all expectations.Blond went on to say Croft is a “female Indiana Jones type of character, ballsy and well spoken”.“Lara is very special to me purely because she means so much to the gamers. I love hearing stories from people around the world who played the game and channelled Lara to escape their bullies or to help them feel stronger when they wanted to come out to their loved ones.
And most beautiful of all is hearing how gamers used to play it with their parent/s who are no longer with us and the sound of my voice, the music from the game and sound effects are all wrapped up in their memories of that loved one. I’m honoured to play a part in that for them,” she continued.At the 2023 BAFTA Games Awards, Christopher Judge won the award for Best Performer In A Leading Role for his portrayal of Kratos in God Of War.

cute for spring.Sheer pink and pale pink have become the go-to uniform of looking for something soft and subtle, but if you want to keep the clean look while introducing a little more color into your look, bubblegum nails are where it's at.As the name suggests, the trend taps into a bubblegum pink color palette, taking things a little brighter than French pinks. But to keep it fresh, delicate and dewy, the look also channels a slightly sheer, see-through bubblegum texture (like when you blow a bubble versus fresh out of the wrapper).It's a subtle shift, but we don't need here to explain how the nuances between the two shades can shift the whole mood (remember cerulean, people).
