The week got off to a bad start for the gaming industry, with the news that Killzone 3 and Crysis 2 had been leaked, setting a general theme of ‘piracy sucks’ for the week. Crytek promised they still love PC gamers though, and PC gamers started a petition to show their support. Sony continues their fight against PS3 hackers with a wave of PSN bans. The top pirating nations around the globe were revealed and so were the top 50 video game characters of all time.
Below we’ve gathered up some of the most interesting pieces from the past week, just in case you missed anything.
