With cell phone game Lave Kroft, unscrupulously ballsy Singaporean publisher Ozura Mobile has drawn the legal eye of Lara Kroft maker Eidos.

"We have contacted our legal department and brand team who are currently investigating the matter," said Eidos.

According to Ozura's site, 26 year-old Lava is "a new age woman with exceptional thirst for adventure has discovered some of the most intriguing and mystical treasures in the world." Hey, that sounds like Lara Kroft!

No, wait. Ozura's VP of marketing, H.E. Mah says:

The game consists of appealing storyline and [a] distinctive gaming atmosphere.

Well look at the big bullshit on Mr. Mah. Eidos is thinking about whether to take these bastards to court, while Ozura's crack-team figures out how to bring exciting new titles like Soup or Murio Bros. to Singaporean cell phones. Brian Ashcraft
