Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “ZOMG THIS IS A BLATANT RIP-OFF OFTEAM FORTRESS 2! PLAGIARISM!” I don’t blame you, either. The over-the-top multiplayer combat, the class system, the art style, and even the sense of humor all seem taken right from Valve’s popular shooter. I can’t even justify it. The “inspiration” is clear as day.

You know what though? It doesn’t matter. The game looks like mad fun and seems like it’ll be a perfect addition to Xbox Live’s “Summer of Arcade” season. In this industry, it’s fun that matters, and Monday Night Combatlooks like a boatload of fun. End of debate.
