A gamer goes out of their way to play a certain game or game franchise that drives them. A gamer has a passion for gaming and anything connecting to gaming. Whether they’re a Wii, Xbox 360, or a Playstation 3 fanboy, they’re still gamers. But there is a secret aspect behind the world of gamers themselves, a secret so hidden from the light of day that gamers try not to show this certain side of them.

We all have a secret. But for a gamer, their secret could be a minor one or a major one. It could be you playing the Britney Spears dance game in secret, who knows?

The TOP 4 GUILTY PLEASURES IN GAMING

#4 - THE TOMB RAIDER SERIES

Lookin better than usual, Lara

Tomb Raider, a game that has expanded and became one of the most recognized series of all time. In 1996, when the Playstation was rising and Sony got into the gaming industry, Eidos was working on a game in the style of Indiana Jones. The only difference was that the main character was a woman; her name, Lara Croft. When the game was released this English sex symbol of Playstation caused sales for Tomb Raider to skyrocket. Amongst male gamers she was considered to be the hottest sex symbol in gaming history. Then more games of the series started coming, along with comic books and real live action movies. This game was in my collection years ago before I got my PS2. Basically, it was one of my secret guilty pleasures. Right now I’ve grown out of it and I hope to never EVER touch that game again. I mean, yes, I thought Lara was hot. It was basically why every 13-year-old boy ever played those games. But I’m not 13 anymore! Plus, the graphics suck. Yes, back then, the game was good because we thought the graphics and gameplay was awesome then, along with Lara crawling around on screen and whatnot. But we've grown up now! Nobody likes to live in the 32-bit era these days unless the game was worthy enough.

In the past, we knew a lot of teenagers [around 13-16] that played the Tomb Raider games. Most likely they play the new ones, since this generation of gamers doesn’t necessarily play the fifth generation consoles that much. Only quite a few play the old Tomb Raider games on the Playstation. Then again I might be wrong. There may be a lot of loyal TR fans still playing it, openly or in secret. Could it be a guilty pleasure of their own? Tomb Raider once known as a 32-bit video game has now evolved to 128-bits. Now a lot of gamers, old and new can see Lara in a much-detailed perspective.
