Shoppers in the UK were stunned to see the real-world equivalent of dragons delivering new video game Dragon Age 2 to retailers prior to its release.
The 9ft-long lizards were captured on camera taking the game to stores in medieval-style carts.
Dragon handler and expert Trevor Smith said: "At 9ft long and weighing around seven stone each, these giant reptiles were trained very carefully to ensure they could safely deliver the games to stores in time for its release this week.
"I think it definitely surprised a few passers-by to suddenly see such an unusual creature stalking the streets."
Sophie Orlando from Dragon Age 2 publishers Electronic Arts said: "Dragon Age 2 is set to be a big release for this year and we wanted to ensure that the games reached their destination in a unique fashion - and what better way of protecting this game than by one of the nearest living...

Way to control the angers issues! Not. Busta Rhymes is in trouble for allegedly throwing a glass of water at a woman called Devin Cooper at Mr Chows in Beverly Hills. The lawsuit states that the rapper’s (real name: Trevor Smith) entourage started the bust-up. A woman seated with him started yelling at Ms. Cooper and her friend because they were apparently “too close to their table.” Excuse you! And even though they did move, Devin and her friend allege that Busta’s lady pal didn’t stop making “loud and aggressive” comments. And when Cooper and Co. asked the woman to chill Busta apparently popped a vein and screamed, “That’s my sister, that’s my blood!” He then supposedly got increasingly aggressive and threw a glass of water at Devin, which missed her by a hair’s breadth, leaving her “shocked and afraid for her safety.” The result,...

Alex Duncan claims he was splashed with water by the star, who then threw two bottles at him when he stood up to leave one of Busta’s shows. Alex, 32, says he was at the concert to see another rapper, Fabolous, and headed for the exit when he failed to appear because he didn’t like Busta – real name Trevor Smith.

Alex also alleged the hip-hop star’s bodyguard punched him at the New York court hearing. The...
