...about a decade and a half past the raging stage. Yet talk to him about his creation Lara Croft--buxom heroine of the Tomb Raider series of computer games--and his face lights up with a naughty-boy grin. "Lara's changed fairly significantly," he says of her latest outing, Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation. "She's got a bottom now. She's got cheeks. She's smoother.

Gamemakers are starting to pull in big names. James Earl Jones, for example, stars in Command & Conquer's latest outing, while David Bowie is the driving force behind the forthcoming Omikron. Indeed, game designers are starting to act like directors--guys like Sid Meier (Alpha Centauri) and Adrian Smith (Tomb Raider) who closet themselves in high-end studios for two years at a time, ceaselessly fine-tuning their grand vision, their...
