Are you being Hotlinked?

VZ Game: The first stop to the games looks like his whole site is all external links. A few of mine were in there but is fixed now!

Quite a bit of bandwidth loss to that site!

Woochoo! Check your Awstats in Cpanel and you will notice under external links some game files as part of a sites url. That could be the culprit.
