What do you get when you mix a mobile game developer, a game title that sounds suspiciously like a well-known and well-endowed video game character, and a bunch of lawyers? Potential legal troubles, that's what. Ozura Mobile, makers of cellphone game Lava Kroft, may very well find itself in worse trouble than their mobile heroine. Eidos Entertainment, developer of the Tomb Raider game franchise, has been thinking of legal action against the Singaporean company due to the many similarities between Lava Kroft and Lara Croft, star of the Tomb Raider series. Much like Lara Croft, Lava Kroft is billed as a treasure seeking young woman who can't help but find herself in dangerous situations in the search for priceless artifacts. This is especially problematic for Ozura Mobile as Eidos already has a Tomb Raider game for the mobile phone. Bottom line: If you're planning on making a game with a similar premise as an existing game from a big developer, think of a more original name and storyline that won't get you sued. |
