Guitar Hero/Rock Band

Street Fighter 2/Fighters History

Grand Theft Auto/Saints Row

Tetris/Every Puzzle Puzzle Game, ever

Wii Sports/Every Motion Controlled Sports Compilation

Mario Party/Crash Bash/Sonic Shuffle

Final Fantasy VII/Legend of the Dragoon

Tomb Raider Legend/ Uncharted (Just kidding!)

F-Zero/Wip3 Out

I could probably go on.  These games don't just borrow a few elements, they borrow TONS of stuff from the original.  As long as it's fun, it's all good.

You are wrong about God of War.


So it's a lousy game that was heavily influenced by Devil May Cry.

Man, I'm clearly complimenting the game, and all of you miss the point entirely.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I haven't played the game and it looks kind of fun but judging by the trailers and gameplay I just watched they seem NOTHING alike...Have you even played Infamous?

On another note...now I want to try Psi-Ops out. Is it any good?

Played Psi-ops on the original xbox was a pretty good game, enjoyed it.

Other than both having some sort of paranormal ability and have shaven heads the similiarity pretty much ends there,  and you only have to have a quick glance at his post history to see he's not exactly an admirer of anything PS3 related, unless its bad news.

I was with you until God of War. Sure it borrowed some things from previous games, just like every third person shooter after Gears jacked its cover system and every FPS stole Halo's regeneting health. That doesn't make it a "blatant copycat". If God of War wasn't something totally new and amazing it wouldn't have risen above its inspirations to become the unchallenged leader of its genre.

Switch it with Forza Motorsport. Microsoft made that game with a copy of GT3 and a piece of tracing paper.

We can extrapolate that real far, like Sonic looking for rings, yea bouh they copied it and made it more diverse, bla bla bla. I agree with you, don't touch GOW OP... :p

As for GearsOfWar cover system no, GEOW stole it from another game before as far as I remember, (syphon filter but I don't wanna say something wrong), GEOW just made it popular, because basically, it was more successful than the other one it ripped off.

it was killswitch read my response

Oh okay, ty. ;)

I don't care if you liked or not GOW  my point is that there are more differences than similarities between GOW and DMC.

Well you should have stated at least that at first, instead of basically a non-statement that could be about anything.
