Well that's not very lady-like!

@Dcmac can't justify paying full price for any game that tries to emulate a "console/handheld" experience. the games were never made for the device, and developers should seriously stop putting them there until the controls are completely suited to the screen. games such as bad company and so forth may have the controls adjusted for the touch screen button, but they still fail at being intuitive when you can only aim or shoot when maneuvering(only few have fixed this problem by making it so that the gun only fires when over a target). Games such as Pocket RPG(ironic title for an iPad game) are games done right, even in hectic situations you can maneuver without being too overwhelmed.

@EliminatorZigma "Halo, CoD, Uncharted, Legend of Zelda, Starcraft, NFS, Grand Theft Auto"

Yeah, but Halo is a ripoff of Doom, or Unreal
CoD is a ripoff of Medal of Honor
Uncharted is a ripoff of Tomb Raider
Zelda is a ripoff Dragon Slayer
Starcraft is a ripoff of Herzog Zwei, or Dune
NFS is a ripoff of Test Drive

At least Grand Theft Auto didn't ripoff anything (maybe).

If you were around during the 8-16bit era, every platformer was a ripoff of Mario or Sonic, and every fighting game was a ripoff of Street Fighter II or Mortal Combat. There were literally hundreds of 'ripoff' games on the shelves in these genres.

Videogames have always ripped off other videogames. I'm not sure why Gameloft gets all the hate for doing what has always been done.

@TwEE My favorite was seeing a middle-aged couple excited to be picking up a DVD of the still-in-theaters Thor. I had to be a good person and let them know that it was the fantastic Marvel action flick, but was instead "Thor: God of Thunder" made on a $10K budget. It's kind of disgusting how companies release that kind of shlock hoping for confused consumer sales.
