As usual, the game has been leaked on P2P networks immediately after it’s release. P2P group TDM is responsible for the leak. TDM have managed to even include the bonus DVD in their release. Also included are required files and instructions to bypass the controversial TAGES copy protection built into the game.

The Witcher was without a doubt of of the best RPGs of year 2007. Although I initially hated the combat system, I actually did spend hours and hours on the game completing side quests and the main storyline. However nothing is perfect. The Witcher had its share of bugs, glitches and performance issues. The most notable were the insane load times. Although there were patches released to fix these issues, the bugs did harm the otherwise awesome gameplay.

Now, after almost a year after initial release, CDProject have released ‘The Witcher Enhanced Edition’. The following are major new features said to be included in the Enhanced Edition of The Witcher

• Over 200 new animations,
• Additional NPC models and recoloring of generic NPC models
• New monsters,
• Vastly expanded and corrected dialogues in translated versions, improved stability,
• Load times reduced by roughly 80% (YAY!)
• All known bugs are said to be fixed and the game manual completely overhauled.
• Two new adventures called Side Effects and The Price of Neutrality.
• Ability to mix and match 8 different languages of voice and subtitles. For instance, players can now choose to play the game with Polish voices and English subtitles.

In addition to the in-game updates, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition will feature premium packaging loaded with value, including the multilingual game disc allowing you to play with any combination of voice-over and subtitles, two new adventures with full voice-over, the D’jinni Adventure Editor, the Official Soundtrack CD, a Music Inspired by The Witcher CD, an official game guide, The Witcher short story by Andrzej Sapkowski, a Making-of DVD with behind-the-scenes video footage, and a map of The Witcher’s world.The Witcher represents the pinnacle of storytelling in role-playing games, shattering the line between good and evil with a world where moral ambiguity reigns. In a beautiful, rich game universe, the player takes on the role of renowned monster slayer, Geralt of Rivia, in an epic, action-packed narrative in which his decisions have a major impact on how the story plays out. The Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant world, while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like no game before it.

I’m a die hard cricket fan but most of the time I don’t get the chance to watch cricket matches live or on TV. What I used to do was either to use Mobicast on my mobile or to have Cricinfo commentary page loaded while the match was going on. But only recently did I find out about their desktop widgets (and I bet many of you have found this by now) which deliver live scores right into the desktop.

There are basically two versions desktop widgets. Cricinfo Desktop Alerts for Windows XP users and Cricinfo Vista Sidebar for Vista users.

Cricinfo Desktop alerts

Get news, scores & wicket alerts from Cricinfo direct to your desktop, and add news feeds from other websites too. Available as a ticker as well as alerts. You need Windows XP in order to run this.

[Click Here] to download Cricinfo Desktop Alerts from Cricinfo official servers.

Today seems to be a good day for gamers (and a very good one for pirates). First scene group RELOADED cracked STALKER: Clear Sky and now the non scene cracker known only as 'DarkC0der' has cracked Crysis Warhead. 

We reported earlier that Crysis Warhead would be released with SecuROM DRM which is hated both by pirates and legitimate users alike. The SecuROM version bundled with Crysis seems to be similar to the one that came with Spore. Users of Spore even created creatures to protest against the invasive DRM protection included in the game. However it has once again been proven (this time by DarkC0der) that even the strongest protections currently on the market are doomed to fail. DarkC0der's crack includes a fixed paul.dll file which has the online activation process removed. Fixed files can be used in conjunction with previously leaked CloneDVDs which were useless until now. DarkC0der was the first to crack popular PC titles such as Bioshock, Bionic Commando Rearmed and Alone in the dark 5 all of which featured variants of online activated SecuROM.

Take on the fight as the volatile Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes in a new parallel story taking place during the events of Crysis. Psycho's secret mission will take him to the other side of the island on a ruthless pursuit of a North Korean general hell-bent on obtaining powerful technology. With the versatile powers of his Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons & vehicles at his disposal, Sykes will do whatever it takes to carry out his top-secret objective. Action on the other side of the island is more intense, the battles are fierce, and the mission protocol is no longer "Adapt to Survive". As Sergeant Sykes, now you must adapt to dominate the battle. Twin SMG's blazing, seizing new vehicles, or going stealth, the action and the victory is on your terms.

General Features

• More explosive and dynamic minute-to-minute gameplay, with new customizable weapons, new vehicles, new photorealistic locations to explore and a fully interactive warzone to dominate
• Enhanced human and alien AI, with an all-new ally squad support system and other enhancements for intelligent enemies and bigger challenges in taking down enemies
• Includes Crysis Wars, an expanded new multiplayer experience with new online modes and 21 maps, including seven all-new maps to battle it out against other players

System requirements:

• CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz (3.2 GHz for Vista), Intel Core 2.0 GHz (2.2 GHz for Vista), AMD Athlon 2800+ (3200+ for Vista) or better
• RAM: 1GB (1.5GB on Windows Vista)
• Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or better
• VRAM: 256MB of Graphics Memory
• Storage: 15GB
• Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
• ODD: DVD-ROM
• OS: Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Microsoft Vista
• DirectX: DX9.0c or DX1

After numerous non scene buggy workarounds, a scene group has finally stepped in to crack the English version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Clear Sky. It is none other than RELOADED, who are one of the oldest groups in the warez scene. Usually RELOADED releases games on or before their street but this is a rare exception (It's only 3 days after the NA release so it's no big deal). The hard to crack DRM used in Clear Sky may have been one of the reasons for the delay. RELOADED claims to have cracked the game's TAGES + Solidshield protection in build 1.5.0.3 of the game exe. Cracked release is now appearing on scene pre channels and will soon leak to Usenet, Private trackers, public trackers and so on.

Update: RELOADED have just released a patch that updates the cracked release to version 1.5.0.4

Speaking of the game, Clear Sky is the prequel to last year's S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Chernobyl. Besides having a decent rating on GameRankings, I've seen this game being bashed on several gaming forums for being full of bugs and glitches. It's always advisable to patch the game to the latest version available before playing.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is a survival FPS game for PC based on a 'what-if' scenario of the second Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident. The game is set in 2011 and brings forth the events to have preceded the third campaign of Strelok to the Zone center. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky introduces an alternative look onto the events of the original game and offers the player to try himself out as a mercenary s.t.a.l.k.e.r. in search of his own path in the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

System Requirements

• Microsoft® Windows® XP(Service Pack 2) Microsoft® Windows® 2000 SP4;
• Intel Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz / AMD XP 2200+,
• 512 MB RAM;
• 10 GB free hard disc space;
• 128 MB DirectX® 8.0 compatible card / nVIDIA® GeForce™ 5700 / ATI Radeon® 9600;
• DirectX® 9.0 compatible sound card;
• LAN/Internet/Cable/DSL for Internet games;
• Keyboard and mouse

SloBytes is perhaps the first Slovenian tracker to be featured in our Private Trackers Section. It's a general/0day tracker with nearly 7500 users and over 4000 torrents. The signup page, site language and everything else is in Slovenian. However most of the content indexed is English (Scene releases, P2P releases ,etc). Interface language should not be a problem for anyone familiar with private trackers as SB follows basically the same format as most other trackers.

Another thing I noticed about this tracker is its packs. Apart from SloBytes unique packs (SB tag), I found packs from other high level trackers such as ScT and TL.

Although these packs may be embraced with open hand by users who do not have access to these high level trackers, uploading unique packs to another tracker is usually frowned upon in the BT community. Such uploaders, if caught, usually faces an instant ban from the original tracker.

Overall it's a decent tracker and is currently open for signups. The current user cap is 7500 and that means there are just around 75 spots left so you better hurry if you want to get in.

Musicplace tracks over 2000 torrents at time of this post and has a user base in excess of 33000 members. The site is currently open for signup so interested readers may get in for free.
