In an article by gameplasma.com some interesting facts and photos have surfaced indicating that Limbo may be a scenery thief, gameplasma.com said "We here at GamePlasma are continually asked to review a bevy of different titles. Occasionally, we run across games from smaller developers that just blow us away with their new and creative ideas. Sometimes we even notice strange things about the games we play. This holds true especially in the case of Eric Franck, Staff Writer, and his attention to detail."
Limbo's publisher and distributor had this to say about the subject “Tri Synergy is just as shocked as everyone else is by the recent screenshot comparisons,”
“At no point during our dealings with Majestic Studios up until the point that the comparison was first publicly made by a third party did we have any knowledge of these similarities."
“Additionally, Tri Synergy will discontinue distribution of Limbo of the Lost in both retail and online outlets."
Due out sometime this fall, Konami's Rock Revolution is yet another game to ad to the increasing list of rhythm based games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
Rock Revolution will be the most innovative and realistic rock game to hit the market, that will provide a quality drum peripheral and music that players will appreciate. As the originator of music-based games, we are dedicated to bringing fans a truly preeminent music experience. With Rock Revolution, we put the emphasis on the drum kit, delivering an experience unlike any other.
Rock Revolution will be out for the Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo DS, not to sure how the DS port of this game will compare but then again you never know.
From the looks of it this game is going to feature all the same options of Rock Band without the vocals but i would guess they are saving that for a knock off of Sing Star.

Dutch police have arrested a teenager for stealing 4,000 euro worth of virtual furniture from Habbo Hotel.
According to a BBC report, the 17 year-old has been accused of stealing 4,000 euro (GBP 2,840) worth of virtual furniture that was purchased with real money.
Five other juveniles have been questioned by police, who were alerted by the Sulake Corporation, owners and operators of the Habbo Hotel virtual world.
"The accused lured victims into handing over their Habbo passwords by creating fake Habbo websites," said a Sulake spokesperson.
"In Habbo, as in many other virtual worlds, scamming for other people's personal information such as user names has been problematic for quite a while."
Although the spokesperson acknowledged that scamming has occurred in many countries, he noted that this is the first time police have taken action.
"It is a theft because the furniture is paid for with real money. But the only way to be a thief in Habbo is to get people's usernames and passwords and then log in and take the furniture," the spokesperson said.
Six million people in more than 30 countries play Habbo Hotel each month.
Operating out of a Newark home cluttered with DVD burners, computer towers and piles of blank discs, like countless other high-tech thieves pirating computer game software, authorities say.
But, those authorities say, he was a thief with a difference. He would not only sell customers pirated DVDs for Microsoft's Xbox 360 game. For $60, he would modify an Xbox console so it would not reject counterfeit software, they said.
Investigators estimate the pirate had thousands of customers before the Essex County Prosecutor's Office raided his home and arrested him yesterday.
"He was one of our higher profile targets in the area," said Robert Hunter, manager of intellectual property enforcement for the Entertainment Software Association, whose investigators keyed in.
The pirate was arrested in the three-story home on Mount Prospect Avenue he shared with his mother and other family members. He was charged with violating New Jersey's anti-piracy act, a third-degree offense that can carry up to five years in prison.
Ford Livengood, a deputy chief assistant prosecutor, said there is no statute prohibiting the modification of the consoles, but the pirating itself falls under the act.
Hunter said pirating of entertainment software is a $3-billion-a-year industry worldwide. He said Xbox consoles retail for anywhere from $250 to $600 depending on the exact product, and games run from $30 to $60. The consoles are designed so they will not play counterfeit software.
On the Internet, the pirate allegedly was offering pirated games for $20, supplying the software through the postal service or by e-mail. He also offered his customers the option either to buy modified consoles or to bring their existing consoles to him for alteration, authorities said.
Alerted by Hunter's sleuths in early November, the prosecutor's economic crime and official corruption unit sent undercover officers, led by investigators Ana Martins and Bruce Davis, to his home to do business with him.
