Actually, I'm of the belief that Blizzard seeing NS was so good, they devised a time-machine, just so they could get the ideas first. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Seriously, if people some person's first reaction was "Starcraft, but with first person" well, than power to ya. That's flattery to the NS team IMO, because the company that made <a href='http://www.blizzard.com/blizzclassic/vikingsdemo.shtml' target='_blank'>The Lost Vikings</a> is a goll dang fine company in my book. But the kicker is that, once you play the game, you realize that what's underneath the cover is something entirely different. IMO, it's like reading the Hobbit, then thinking "Oh lord of the rings? It has hobbits and wizards? Well, it'll probably be just the same thing again." And then you read the lord of the rings and despite the similarities, you realize it's VERY different (from writing style to most of the characters to the way the plot works, etc) and better in some respects.
