Limbo of the Lost

Has anyone heard of this little gem? Apparently it's caused quite the controversy.

Not by being too violent, or too sexual, or too offensive... by plagiarizing about 99% of its contents and SELLING it through legitimate publishers (one being Tri-Synergy) who had no idea that the game was filled with plagiarized material.

Basically most of the rooms were made by taking screenshots within games such as Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Elder Scrolls IV, and Silent Hill 4.. and then plopping them right into the game engine. The player character is the default male character from Poser 4 (a 3D character posing program), modified only slightly, if at all.

Oh, it gets worse. The concept art for the game is plagiarized as well; the drawings are simply paint-overs of existing game artwork, renders, and wallpapers.

It just boggles the mind.

Here is an example comparison:

And from Return to Castle Wolfenstein:
