Nocturne

When I first saw previews of Nocturne, I took one look at the central character, "The Stranger," and said, "How are they going to get away with that?" Because The Stranger is VERY derivative of the DC Comics character, The Phantom Stranger. Trenchcoat, moody atmosphere... True, there are some differences, like The Phantom Stranger's eyes were "covered" by the shadow of his hat brim, whereas The Stranger wears sunglasses, and The Phantom Stranger uses magic instead of guns, but the visual similarity is uncanny. Ah, well, here's the GameSpot review.
