Aug 18th 2006 4:07PM (Joystiq)Look at PuzzLoop, Zuma, Tumble Bugs, Magnetica -- all the same game, some different companies.
Look at Bust a Move and Snood.
Look at Bejeweled and Zookeeper.
If any of you trust wikipedia (I do): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clone_(computer_and_video_games)
Other notable game clones include Warcraft, Final Fantasy, Star Ocean. You may argue with me on those, citing that they don't mimic the exact look of their inspirations, but they clone the gameplay of their inspirations very closely.
I take issue with calling him parasitic, as he is obviously not making any money off of this. He's probably losing money (bandwidth costs). One could argue fame, but without much evidence for or against we can only speculuate (or ask the man).

Engadget's Cleaning Out Our Closet Contest
Aug 16th 2006 6:21PM (Engadget)This thing would be absolutely perfect for my uses. For a number of years, I've been trying to figure out how to get some PDA functionality on my person without having to take up the pocket space. I attempted to get a Smartphone for the PDA functionality, but apparently the Nokia 3600 bricks every time you fill up its internal RAM too much, so now I've got a simple phone and there are no inexpensive (and attractive) PDA phones for my provider. Additionally, my watch face has cracked and now water continuously condensates on the inside of the glass. With this, I could replace that watch AND get the PDA functionality I've been wanting. So awesome.

Aug 14th 2006 2:20AM (Joystiq)To see this, go to the DS section (just for example) and click "S". You'll notice that there are about half as many S games as there are total games listed on the front page, and most of those games are not listed there.
Those two links simply list the most recent reviews for both the PSP and the DS, not all of them.
