If your become a little sick of the groups trying to have Manhunt 2 re-banned, re-modified or just to be generally annoying I urge you not to both reading on. Once again after little more then 48 hours after the Manhunt 2 release another group is after Rockstar Games and even now, ESRB. Parents Television Council (PTC) president Tim Winter has made the cold move of asking ESRB to reinstate the original AO rating to Manhunt 2 and included a list of further demands by the PTC and hinted at what will happen if they are not fulfilled. Mr. Winter then went on to suggest the ESRB suspend reviews and consideration of any games to be published by Rockstar Games and/or Take-Two Interactive saying simply that they "have breached the trust of the entire video game rating system." . He then added:

Unless the industry as a whole, including the ESRB, steps up to the plate immediately and decisively, there is little doubt the video game ratings system will face the specter of government oversight.

So wait lets recap, he wants Manhunt 2 basically banned ( ...no AO games allowed on the PS2 / the Wii or the PSP... ) and no future Rockstar Games or T2 games to be rated (thus not released) all because his group feel the two companies have breached the rating system's trust? It seems very over dramatic to me, think of how many games both Rockstar and T2 have in the works, it's not only very badly thought-out, just rude. Seems this Manhunt 2 bashing won't be finishing anytime soon. All I can suggest is the obvious, if you are concerned about your children playing the game, don't buy them the game. Why should the rest of the world miss out on a game because of the neglect of parents not being aware of what their children are playing?
