Using copyrighted names in description
Author
Say im describing my game through my website or anywhere else (in written form) am I legally allowed to say "Mixture of Dope Wars and Neuromancer" or something similiar...using the name of published book titles or other games (particulary other games)?
Appreciate it guys.

You''ll quite likely run up against anti-dilution statutes, most definitely if you say "It''s even better than FooBar!". Most big companies are rabid about keeping their trademarks distinct and pure, so I''d advise against doing what you''re thinking about.
Just my 20 cents.

Comparing your games to other games looks cheap anyways.
"Our game''s awesome, its Half-Life but BETTER!"

If you do, make attribution. Like this: A mixture of soandsogame 1 and soandsogame 2

I think it''s kind of a cop-out saying "our game is like xyz and abc". Your game should be good on it''s own merits, not on other games'' merits. If you need to describe how your game plays, talk in genres, not specific examples of games from a specific genre.
If I had my way, I''d have all of you shot!
