Both Phycological themes. Both have a character that is particulary smart or good at solving problems.
Both sort of dark and tactical 'games', and a similar character.
Both involve highly intelligent people generally outwitting others, but whereas Death Note was involving a killing spree and utopia, Liar Game is about trying to get out of a game of, well, lies. The artwork is sort of similar, too, and I personally think Akiyama is more intelligent than Light because Akiyama generally has his plans run right from the get-go and has already factored most outcomes, whereas Light relies too much on others' reactions. Akiyama's reliance on reactions is more like putting the last brick on the castle; castle's already complete, but a perfectionist just needs that one last brick.
The psychological genre is evident in both and the main male leads are both cunningly intelligent.
Both revolve around psychologyand how allows one or more characters to come out on top by manipulating the others.
They both have main characters that use wit to advance or accomplish their goals (Akiyama and Light), but Death Note is much darker and sometimes gets close to more of a seinen manga than shounen. And Akiyama totally looks like L. :D
The main conflicts run like complicated cat & mouse games, with psychological strategies and out manoeuvring between genius characters. There are more puzzles in Liar Game, but Death Note does have it's moments. However Death Note is supernatural with an anti-hero main character while Liar Game is realistic with a naive girl/con-artist protagonist main pair. They have quite a similar detailed art style, though Death Note is more gothic.
Both involve highly intelligent main characters, though Amamiya reminds more of L then of Light. The Characters are facing problems that they have to solve using their brain. Liar Game is more focused on tricking people, but when you liked DN (like me) it's quite possible that you might like Liar Game too.
The art is different but the psychological aspects in the manga are similar.. Very interesting insights.. I am very selective when reading manga especially phycological manga. As far as lost+brain is concerned, it suck. Thus recommendation of liar game should not be taken lightly. liar game and its psychological aspects are almost on par with that of death note. Enjoy...
Both contain some very smart people who have to think all the time: whats next? to survive. Both are ingenious. The authors must be really clever.

Characters play games that seemed be luck based for money, but the main characters of each find tricks to guarantee victory.
Both mangas are very similar in the huge amount of money involved in each game. And both the protagonists Tomu and Akiyama are genius level pro swindlers who makes use of psychology to trick the opponents and win. The tricks employed in both manga also constantly leaves the reader guessing and each chapter makes a person want to read more to see what happens next.

They both contain people who are put in a competition (mostly) against their will, and must compete against others to be the final one left through tricks, deception, or right out stealing/killing.
Both of these manga deal with human emotion, stealing, lying, cheating and a competition. Battle Royale is more violent but the characters of Nao and Shuya are very similar. They both are kind idealists thrown into a game where they are expected to device and play only for themselves, but find smart companions who help them out.

The two series are very similiar. Both involve trust and lying for your own gain with a lot of emphasis on human nature and psychology. While Liar Game is more about money, Doubt is more about a persons life, but both have the same basic idea of playing a game with a lot at stake.

Both of these mangas have a considerable amount of gambling involves and putting your life on the line to either go deeply in debt or walk out a millionaire... They also contain alot of physiological warfare which will doubts all of your senses.

Both of them contains plot about people lie to each other.
The difference is, Liar game have a story on a game about lying, and Kurosagi is a story about a liar who only lie to takes money from another liar who takes money from innocent people.
