I dunno hey. Rhianna has done some pretty descent writing for previous games. Her inclusion does not really surprise me. The timing may be an attempt to recover from the previous "rape" debacle, but for me at least it doesn't sour the deal at all. I am much more interested in the characterisation of Lara Croft than the debate of whether or not that one scene is appropriate. If it is forced it will be very unappealing, but if it adds a memorable emotional point (albeit not an entirely positive one) I feel it may be worthwhile.
