Limbo of the Lost & Oblivion Similarities

Limbo of the Lost or Oblivion? on GamePlasma.com has word on visual similarities they've discovered between Limbo of the Lost, a new adventure game developed by Majestic Studios, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the latest installment in Bethesda Softworks' RPG series (thanks Gamer's Hell). They have several screenshots comparing scenes from both games, and the similarities are quite striking, down to small details. This raises obvious questions about how this came to be, which we have posed to both Bethesda and Limbo of the Lost publisher TriSynergy, but neither party is prepared to issue an official statement about all this right now.

Similarities? They're virtually identical. That is completely unacceptable, even from a demonstration perspective. The only reason to do such a thing would be to demonstrate a superior engine, like the Source updates to Counter-Strike maps, but even then there should be considerable differences.

I don't care whether they have permission to use the level structure / art assets - it's simply wrong.
