Limbo of the Lost has allegedly stolen numerous in game graphics and textures from our beloved Oblivion.

They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but I have a feeling that won't save them from a lawsuit.

Side by side comparison images can be found on the website.

Eric was recently assigned a game developed by Majestic Studios titled "Limbo of the Lost." At first glance, this game appears to be your typical point and click adventure again. This time, however, something seemed oddly familiar to him. Eric, being the avid PC gamer that he is, noticed that there were some similiarties between Limbo of the Lost and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

The first example of this can be seen in the screenshots from Oblivion and Limbo of the Lost below. Notice how everything is placed in exactly the same place and almost all of the textures are identical. In fact, the only real difference is the quality of the texture and overall graphical look. Even the portrait that can be seen under the stairs is exactly the same as the one that can be found in Oblivion. Also, take note of the placement of the rug in the middle of the floor and the placement of the stairways.

      It doesn't even count as a rip off, it's pretty much the same exact game...excluding the first person view.

      When it's that obvious? Everyone with a set of eyes.

      They copied level layouts-- not just textures, haha.

      I noticed it straight away and I only played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion casually.
