Whilst playing the game Darksiders Wrath Of War last night a lot of the weapons seemed rather familiar to me. First off we have the giant sword / gun combo from the DMC series (granted the combat is nowhere near as fluid in Darksiders and War only has one pistol.) A crossblade? Hmmm used to solve puzzles you say? Much like Zelda? What you've never heard of Zelda? Then the absolute icing on the weapon stealing cake was The Voidwalker...A wrist accessory that fires out blue and orange portals! Blatantly a rip-off of the portal gun! With all the weapons in the world and most peoples warped imaginations it's come to this? Stealing weapons from Link and Dante?

Got me to thinking what blatantly copied weapons have you seen in games? And which title do you think did them better?

Haha, well done.

I have to say I can't really think of weapons, but there was one idea Mass Effect 2 seemed to steal from Fable 2 of all games. I'm talking about the more evil you get, the worse Shepard's scars seem to get and his eyes turn more red. The opposite is true also.

Only realised that the other day.
