    Just noticed these in my local Tesco.
    Looks a blatant ripoff of Bub from bubble bobble/puzzle bobble.

    No mention of "all rights to Taito" on the packaging or website

    This Heineken ad is a bit of a Bioshock rip off.

    I hate how Aliens ripped off every space marine type video game ever.... Or is it the other way around?

    It's uncanny alright but might be simply convergent evolution.
    If the dragon/monster was coloured red it's be less of an issue.

    If you put them side by side they're fairly different

    What are we seeing here? Looks like they use some art deco design, that seems the height of it to me.

    It reminded me a little of Bioshock in the same way a cartoon baby dragon thing would remind me of Bubble Bobble.
