Fake Dragon Quest IX circulates torrent sites
When a game is as hyped as Dragon Quest IX, there is bound to be a leak. I mean c’mon, the game was pre-ordered how many times, 2 million?
Unfortunately, some tricksters thought it would be funny to release a fake torrent that featured nothing other than a hentai slideshow. Futhermore, said hentai slideshow bricks your Nintendo DS if you decide to run the pirated software.
So just as a personal note, if you feel the need to download Dragon Quest IX prior to its release date, don’t do it as it’s probably a fake.

Halo Wars leaked to torrent sites
Well it was only a matter of time, Halo Wars has been unofficially leaked and spread across the legion of BitTorrent websites.
If you really feel the need to break just about every copyright law there is you could head over to your favorite BitTorrent tracker and snag the ~7GB file which was apparently released by a group called ‘GLoBAL’.
Of course, we don’t recommend or endorse this practice. This is too bad for the late Ensemble Studios, hopefully it won’t hinder sales and Halo Wars recieves the acclaim it deserves.

Grand Theft Auto IV already pirated
A scene group known as iCON has already released a PAL version of Grand Theft Auto IV onto various torrent sites, despite the game’s arrival onto store shelves being only a few days away. It is confirmed to be real, and works on European Xbox 360 systems. An NTSC version has been uploaded, as well, but it is unclear if it’s the real deal. The group advises players not to log on to Xbox Live with the game until the retail release date has passed.
It’s unlikely that this will have a major impact on Take-Two Interactive’s sales of the flagship title, as many gamers have already pre-ordered the game, and many are planning to purchase it. Everyone is hyped for the game’s release and many are patiently waiting for the official release.
