    Seriously, check this out!

    Magicka: Vietnam, a Third Person / top down RPG obviously has either ripped off BC2's cover design, or the same artist designed both covers.

    Bizzare!

    It's a joke...magicka is a game is a multiplayer game involving wizards and monsters.

    So when they release an expansion pack called "Vietnam" and replace wizards staves with machine guns, obviously they're not being entirely serious...

    Its a rip off.

    I know absolutely nothing about Magicka so on first glance, it looks like a rip off. Even if its meant to be a sort of parody - I don't get it. A fantasy RPG that gets guns, so they 'parody' BC2??

    Doesn't make sense at all.

    It's a rip off, much the same as scary movie is a rip off of scream.

    It's got a major comedy element to it, it has wizard in robes running around Vietnam fighting VC. They even announced it on April 1st, despite it being a real release.

    Tis quite a good game, just don't use the combination that (intentionally) crashes the game to the desktop.

    The game upon launch was very buggy, they fixed the issues and mocked themselves by adding bug inducing spellcasts.
