Dungeon Hunter? StarFront? Modern Combat?

Is someone getting PAID to come up with these names?

@(Unverified) You are not very aware of the quality of previous Gameloft titles, are you?

Gameloft's games are generally quite fun. Too bad they couldn't come up with an original idea to save themselves.

I understand where you're coming from, but they do what they do pretty well.

Games like this... affordable, derivative, pretty well made... I can live with that.

They can't all be thinking outside the box. Never underestimate the value of thinking inside the box, too!

I completely agree, their games are well made and affordable, which is never a bad thing.

It's just their tendency to (blatanly) rip off other games that gets me.

Yeah, that's lame. There's no way around it. I'm sure a lot of professional devs really can't stand it.

Ignoring the hud elements, one could easily think this was just another screen shot of carl doing his duty.

It'd probably help if the devs of the games they're ripping off took the time to make mobile games... but everyone knows that isn't going to happen.

My fiancee plays some western shooting game on the Wii (wiiware) made by Gameloft, and she effing loves it. I can honestly say that it's fun, but I am no good at it.

Now that I think about it... the name was... Wild West Guns.

That's the NAME of the game.

If Gameloft is porting this, i hope they port that Uncharted rip-off Shadow Guardian aswell.

If it's done right, and if fun to play this is just what we need. A really cheap FPS that is just right there ready to go, with your preferred control scheme too.

It seems great to me. Move shooters are fun, and I think more of them can't be a bad thing.

Another great reason to buy the Sharpshooter (SMG Move/Navigation controller accessory)

That really is an awful name, but if the price is right I might check it out.

@NoirR

I don't think anyone expects that people would rather buy 'Modern Combat: Domination" over a MAG or MW2 type game.

This game is for people who just want a cheap downloadable FPS with some new maps and weapons just for a change.

@JasonA Don't forget, this is a Move title, so it's more appealing to those who don't have many games that support the Move controller, let alone a FPS right now.

Exactly. If there was a Modern Warfare iPhone game, I'd have bought it. But there's not, so Gameloft essentially made it for Activision and just chaned the name a bit. That's the way I see it. Activision doesn't want to take the time to develop a mobile Call of Duty game, that's their loss. They could probably write a game while drunk and stoned, it could be complete garbage, and they'd still sell a million copies.

Ok, this was definitely supposed to be a reply. This wasn't a reply fail on my part, 100% posative. I blame the iPhone app, which I'm not sure why I still use, since it STILL HASN'T BEEN UPDATED TO SUPPORT iOS 4.0 FEATURES.

The above was supposed to be a reply, and I cut the following text to use as a normal comment:

The only thing about these Gameloft games is that yeah they are well done for mobile games, but they just aren't very compelling to me. They are trying to emulate console games, and in doing so, fall far shorter than I think they should be allowed. Zombie Infection is a great example. The controls are great, far better than the mobile Resident Evil games, but the game itself just is not compelling to me. I never finished it.

The demo for Modern Combat was Ok, once again, good trackpad-style control over the aimer, which is FAR better than a virtual stick on the right, but the game just didn't compell me to buy it.

NOVA seems like thier best title in the action series judging by the demo, despite the still-terrible story, voice acting, and script, but I still haven't bought it yet. I willat some point.

Basically, their console game had better be better than their console-clone-mobile games.
