There is the act of borrowing ideas and themes from past sources to inform your video games, and then there is the new trailer for GameLoft's Starfront: Collision on the other. It's not just that the game is a StarCraft clone; it's the fact that every one of the game's assets seems to be taken from Blizzard's game, changed just enough to avoid legal repercussions, and then crammed into the game.
Bonus points for choice of fonts. Take a look for yourself.
Where have I seen this before...
I'm sure the thought process went something like this: "If Blizzard doesn't want to port StarCraft to iOS devices, we will do it for them!" It's a rather amazing thing to behold, and takes the concept of cloning a game further than we've previously seen, especially with a game as distinctive looking as StarCraft.
