Well It would be annoying for the big companys if everyone was making copys of their games/products. I would sue if someone made a blatant rip off of my idea.

to be honest.. a mobile phone game is no match for the huge bouncing.... tits, i mean game that is the lara croft series anyway, so from my point of view they are just being petty..

Lava Kroft, well its either a women made of lava, or a German babe beating up people, but I'd play either game...

Seems like "Lava" could also be a connotation (sp?) for that time of the month and maybe it's a game about PMS? :P

Um, probably not, but I have a feeling Eidos might lose that one....
