I've noticed something fishy in the Ratchet and Clank series of games.

In the Tools of Destruction installment, they was a Vorox galaxy. Coincidence right?

Well in the newest sequel A Crack In Time, there are Agorian warriors. Lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice, does it?

Actually lightening strikes twice in the same place all the time.

But that really has nothing to do with this.

It's probably a coincidence... those words just have a ring to them... names get copied accidentally.

Coincidence?

When it comes to games like that, what do you expect with names?

I agree. Chances are they're both taking it from other sources and using it. Alot of these names are from other languages, or a perversion of it.

Well technically speaking the errors could occur pretty easily because of the Latin roots that are used widely in sci-fi and fantasy. I'm surprised there's no "Malum" or "Gelu" in both, as well :P

I'm not sure about Agori, but I know that Vorox is a slight variation on the Latin word for hunger or gluttony, and it sounds like an alien race name anyways. "Agori" could mean villager or something but I'm too lazy to look it up atm.

As for the Cordak Blasters, they're pretty much giant revolvers. I've seen plenty of similar things in sci-fi, especially video games.

Another strange thing, some robots in the game have weapons that greatly resemble Cordak Blast.

A think its beyond a idea now.

Yes considering rotating barrel guns are totally original to Bionicle.

Oh yes, they thought of it first.

Other toys prior to Bionicle had red missiles too.

The original RYNO also resembles a Cordak Blaster, and the first Ratchet and Clank was released a long time ago. Agori is also a communications network and a Hindu sect, and a Vorox is a creature from the Fading Sun books (it's amazing what ten seconds on Google can accomplish).

There are similarities and coincidences and all that nonsense everywhere. If there's a can of Coke in one movie, did they lift that idea off of previous movie? No.
