Fallout 3 the Latest Victim of Piracy
Fallout 3 Falls Victims to the Pirates
Bethesda Software is one of the latest companies to feel the sting of piracy on their newest title Fallout 3. Weeks before the games release there was a link posted on a torrent site to a 6.5gb download for the game for the Xbox360.
It is surprising to most that the pirated version of this game was the xbox versions which is leading some to believe it was due to a leak at one of the manufacturing plants that is printing the games.
Bethesda has already begun sending cease and desist letters to torrent sites asking them to take the game down, but we all know once it is out there it can’t be stopped.
It’s somewhat ironic that this occurred soon after I published an article about EndWar’s complaints on piracy, but I do plan to show my support for this amazing title by purchasing my copy along with the majority of gamers out there.

For those who have been watching the news about the new Sci-Fi thriller “Dead Space” the wait just got that much more exciting.
EA announced today that they will be releasing an Ultimate version of the game which is sure to excite fans who have been following all the developments with this title.
I have been reading up on this game and waiting for its release as it seems a nice change of pace from the cliché Horror Survival games that are so rampant today. Similar to a Silent Hill but in space.
We can only wait to see if this game lives up to the hype but if it’s half as good as it looks I think we are all in for a real treat.
