While I agree with most of your write up, I think you went way overboard on Tomb Raider.
Looking back, it had its flaws for sure, but it was quite enjoyable when it was new in 1996 ( and no, I NEVER gave a crap about Lara Croft's appearance), but I loved the "Indiana Jones" style feeling of exploring those ancient ruins and finding ancient relics and stuff. It had a great 'adventure' feeling to it.

I think the series should have stopped after TR 2 though.
