Super 8 and Crysis

I'm not sure whether I'm the only one who noticed it, but I found a lot of similarities between the movie "Super 8" and the video game "Crysis". The scenes nearing the end of the movie especially ones in the alien's lair reminded me of the games Crysis and Crysis Warhead. Even the story is somewhat similar to that of Crysis in which an alien is discovered, although the alien is not very friendly and nice to kids like in Super 8 ;) It's as if the creators of the movie were inspired by the events and the scenes in the games. It is a fairly good movie however...
