We're glad Tomb Raider is getting a reboot. It's about time Lara Croft got a permit for entering those damn tombs.

News Blips:

• Lara Croft plans to turn herself back on via reboot. Over the weekend, some leaked shots and details of a Tomb Raider reboot spread across the Internet. It's just what you'd expect, too: reworked everything (combat, story, etc.). That's it, really. Wait, we feel like we're missing something. Oh, that's right: boobs. [Joystiq]

• Dragon Quest 9 sells more than 1 copy and less than 2.24 million copies. Hey, did you know that the Japanese love questing for dragons for the 9th time? If not, you're obviously not one of the 2.23 million people who bought Dragon Quest 9 last week. If this game totally bombs, we're blaming you. [Kotaku]

• Analyst predicts Korea is gonna be pissssssed. Activision Blizzard has said it will try to ship out Korean favorite StarCraft 2 this year, but analyst Arvind Bhatia told the Wall Street Journal that he thinks that probably won't happen. Way to ruin the lives of these guys, Blizzard. [GI.biz]

• Blah blah blah blah -- that's the sound Star Wars: The Old Republic makes. BioWare's upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the Star Wars universe is going to be big. Not in world size, though. Big in excessive blabber -- a new article on the game's official website talks about how the script is as long as 40 novels. Yikes. There better be a frickin' CliffsNotes code. [Joystiq]

Hit the jump for some video blips, including cool Uncharted 2: Among Thieves gameplay, lots of backflips in Wet, a beady Big Daddy, and...more.

Video Blips:

• Uncharted 2 ice caves gameplay is cold. Err, hot.

• Wet figures out secret to slowing down time. Apparently random backflips will do the trick.

• Dissidia: Final Fantasy has big sword fighting. Just wanted to state the obvious.

Cultural Blip:

• Scary cute: Beady Big Daddy. Check out one of BioShock's Big Daddies made entirely in cheap, plastic beads. [technabob]
