Limbo of the Lost & Oblivion Similarities [June 11, 2008, 1:07 pm ET] - Viewing Comments
Limbo of the Lost or Oblivion? on GamePlasma.com has word on visual similarities they've discovered between Limbo of the Lost, a new adventure game developed by Majestic Studios, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the latest installment in Bethesda Softworks' RPG series (thanks Gamer's Hell). They have several screenshots comparing scenes from both games, and the similarities are quite striking, down to small details. This raises obvious questions about how this came to be, which we have posed to both Bethesda and Limbo of the Lost publisher TriSynergy, but neither party is prepared to issue an official statement about all this right now
Original article from GamePlasma.com can be found here.
Seriously, if this was a hobby-based homemade project by some bored high school kids with too much free time I wouldn't even mind. But this 'game' appears to be made by three Brits with a mid-life crisis. Instead of just stealing another developers ideas, they just simply copied all the areas and reloaded it with a crappier engine and they didn't even tried to mask it. Hell, on some screenshots (like the second one) it looks like they have just hit the Print Screen button, photoshopped the original UI away, and paste their new UI and characters on the screen.
Here's a full list of games they have ripped of. And yes, they have also 'borrowed' some scenes from Spawn the Movie and Pirates of the Caribbean for their trailer.

The title features apparently stolen graphics that, according to news site GamePlasma are identical to the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.[1] Further screenshots and video have suggested[2] that environments and features have also been stolen from Diablo II, Painkiller, Unreal Tournament 2003, Enclave, Unreal Tournament 2004, Black & White, Thief: Deadly Shadows, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Crysis, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, World of Warcraft, scenes from the 1997 film Spawn, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Rune [1] [2] and other games and movies.
Seriously, the guys who made this either have ******** that hang at knees height or a shortage of brain cells for asking a good 40 euro's (that's around $60 for you silly Yankees) for this un-game.
