On a more serious note, I always found the Zerg in Starcraft to be a massive ripoff of the Tyranid from Warhammer 40K

Probably the Great Giana Sisters
The strange thing is that the Great Giana Sisters got a remake on the DS.

Eragon is ludicrously derivative. From the Razac/Nazgul, to the Star Wars storyline, to the Pern-esque dragon bonding (the earthsea ancient language magic thing, the bad guy is your father/the guy you think is your father actually isn't... The list goes on).
The urgals/Beastmen were quite cool, but were then thoroughly fucked over in the film to just become a different race of humans.
Despite that though, the book series somehow keeps drawing me to it, possibly just from a desire to see how it ends. Despite the fact that every time the author says it will end, he attaches another book to the series...

Ever look at W40K Space Marines beside... well... space marines?MrDeckard said:
Really? Blizzard, come on.
I was going to say that!cheeseraven said:
Call of Duty, Halo, Starcraft, everything is on there.
I was so disappointed to find that the new goldeneye my brother had just spent £60 on was a shameless rip off of call of duty. Terrible, terrible game.
While the Asylum getting mentioned here is no shocker, I'm slightly more surprised no one has mentioned THIS:
its already stated but i want to say it again: quantum theory.
normally i would never say that a game ripped off another game, but this one is just too... much. i hate it when people say that a new game is a ripp off from a generic game like god of war or something, because that one was good and now everything that resembles the 'superior' game a bit is a rip-off. i disagree with that, but quantum theroy..... that was just copied 1 on 1. system is the smae, reloading is the same and much more.

Dante's Inferno = God of War?

Oh ITV, I wonder where you got that triangular "play icon" idea from, hmmm?

Are you s****** me?! (I know you're not since I just check out the Transmorpher trailer which I shudder at the sight of it).MrDeckard said:
Anyway the only that pop into my mind is Mondy Night Combat is a bit like Team Fortress 2. It's similar in that MNC it is also colour vs colour (in this case orange vs blue), there are character classes to choose from and the graphic is cartoony like Team Fortress. Yeah it's a shooter but it's 3rd person shooter not 1st person.
I think the real problem is that we've somehow got it in our heads that if something is even remotely similar to something else, it's a rip off. This method of thinking is WRONG!!
I don't know how this got started, but if it was Yahtzee I'm going to fly down to Australia right now and beat him senseless with a 2x4! Many well know and established franchises were inspired by something else. Bob Kane borrowed many elements from Zorro when he created Batman. A lot of Star Wars is based on old Japanese samurai movies.
Look at the StarCraft space marines and those of Warhammer 40K. Yes they look similar, but they are completely different. The Starcraft space marines aren't over-powered psychos that go stomping all over civilizations at the whim of a single man with a god complex. No, most of the Starcaft space marines are the descendants of crimminals that are stuck in armour that barely protects them worth shit.

Everything ever released ever ripped off of Call of Duty. Goldeneye? Ripped off of COD. Battlefield? Ripped off of COD. Uncharted? Ripped off of COD. Minecraft? Ripped off of COD. Tetris? Ripped off of COD. Space Invaders? Ripped off of COD...
