Piracy at its best

Comic books have been the source of inspiration for a lot of the entertainment industry's creations, ranging from movies to TV series or animated cartoons. Not even the gaming segment left the genre unexploited and a variety of titles based on comic books have appeared over the years.

One of the most recent ones, set to be launched at the beginning of May in order to coincide with the theatrical release of the movie bearing the same name, is X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The game, which is developed and published by Activision, is set to offer a great experience and deliver fans of the famous hero a game that they will be proud of, after a series of unfortunate titles that didn't really do the clawed avenger any justice.

But even though the game is set to be delivered in May for eagerly anticipating players, just like the movie, it was destined to be leaked and made available for download on torrent sites a bit early. Now, those who want to download and enjoy the game can do so on almost any torrent site because the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 versions of the game are up for grabs.

This will most likely trigger yet another reaction against piracy, but it will be a bit different, as the PC platform isn't the main culprit. We've already seen a lot of companies blame piracy for the low results of video game companies, with many of them pointing the finger at the PC, so let's just see what they will do with the PS2 and Xbox 360.

Hopefully no more titles will be pirated in the future and people will start to legally buy their games when they will be made available in their respective country, so more and more developers will use the money generated from these sales to create other, more exciting titles.
