Manhunt 2 Banned In The UK, Gov. Agency Says Not Political >

The BBFC, earlier today, told the UK public that, after debate, they have decided to ban the sale of Manhunt 2 to gamers in the UK. T be honest, it sounds like the game is standing a lot more on the reputation of Manhunt 1, which caused such an uproar back in 2003. The original game was banned in many countries due to extreme scene of violence and gore. In the UK, the game was linked to the murder of Stefan Pakeerah, 14, by his friend Warren Leblanc, 17. Giselle Pakeerah, the victim's mother, said that Leblanc had been 'obsessed' with the game. During the fiasco, the game was banned from UK stores and its place in the annals of video game violence was secured.

Now, with the release of Manhunt 2, Rockstar hopes to still be able to capitalize on the small amount of buzz that is generation when the title is mentioned. Fortunately, for Rockstar, it looks like they will have all the buzz help they will need this time around, as well.
