Manhunt 2 receives “M” rating

After it originally received an AO (Adult Only) rating from ESRB, the upcoming horror from Rockstar Games finally got the M rating it needed to release the game in the US.

Because Adult Only games aren’t accepted by the console manufacturers the only place Manhunt 2 could have been launched would have been the PC. And since the game was designed for the Playstation 2, PSP and Nintendo Wii systems, the game would have been a no go.

Mafia 2 announced

2K Games (finally) announced they are working on a sequel to the worldwide success title Mafia. You must remember Mafia, it was the game that practically introduced the gangster genre to gaming, and it did it with style.

Mafia 2 promises to be even better than its predecessor, although I don’t see what anyone can improve on, maybe just come up with something new. The game will be set in the same time period as the first installment , the 1940’s early 1950’s when the mob ruled the streets and the underworld.
