This is just insulting. Mario Galaxy simply cannot rip anyone off because noone has ever been as awesome. This article is rubbish

They are all just copying PONG... after all, they thought of making a game on a computer for people to play.

What a knob jockey

I sat down with God the other day and asked him a bunch of questions about the Universe.

There's evidence all around us I think, of certain games that have borrowed from the Universe. One that I'm even extremely flattered by is Ratchet and Clank, with their spherical worlds; I did lots of spherical worlds in the Universe. It would be amazing to think that Mr. Schneider thought that was so cool that he wanted to incorporate them into Ratchet and Clank. Granted, he's doing it in a different way, but it's still a spherical world, so it's flattering to see those sorts of things.

Yeah, because that whole "platforming" thing was Insomniac's idea.
Oh, and the Raven boss at the end of one of those Yoshi's Island levels, one of the best boss fights ever? You know where you run around on the moon, a spherical plane that looked gorgeous as it rotated and you tried to hammer the raven from beneath?
Yep, totally unoriginal until Insomniac invented jumping.

hahaha

You could say insomniac copied mario 64 with Spyro the Dragon. It was the first 3d platformer anyway right?

They stole 3D right from under the nose of Mr MoneyPrinter

Elitism and game developers? Who’d have thunk it? :)
