Is God of War a swipe of 2002 screenplay?
Interesting is the claim that the one map is based on the other... with claims like:

• Barette-Herzog's map has a Meadow of Lost Souls flanked by dark silhouettes. God of War's in-game map has an area called the Desert of Lost Souls, flanked by similar figures. In each map, both regions are bordered by dark, triangular trees or mountains.
• Both maps use similar symbol for the hero's destination, a mountain range with a small, round door beneath the highest peak.
