  Any Lara game?  Actually, I think that's a bit reprehensible.  The only 
reason Sony ever did that was to snub Nintendo and smugly put a "Not for 
Nintendo" blurb on their ads.  It would be like banning Canadians from owning 
Corvettes; sure, it might make Americans feel better about themselves, but it 
doesn't do them any real good, and hurts their sales.
  In this case, it would be hurting Eidos.  Wouldn't they WANT more people 
buying copies of Tomb Raider II?
