Apps of the same name

whats the deal with apps of the same name? i just looked to see if the name for my upcoming app was taken and it was.....by two different games.

whats the ruling for this? I was under the impression you couldn't do that but then again with all the apps out there they're going to start having duplicates soon anyways.

as a side note....think its a bad idea? i've been working on this app for several months, and the last part is the name. I've hated everything up until this last one.

    I imagine there's going to be a conflict with those 2 developers eventually, and the one that was there first is going to be the winner. I would just try to come up with another name and avoid all that possible drama, because in the end, you will still have to change the name.

    Would this be the case if you added punctuation to the name ie.
    Shoot the rat
    vs
    Shoot the rat!

    I'm sure you could do it but if it was my game I would like the game name to be original.
    Think about the end use/player trying to tell his mate about a new game he was playing called "Shoot the rat" and his mate asking: Oh is that the one with ! at the end. Seems a bit silly. Maybe I'm wrong,just what I would think.
