Review: Wyoming Manhunt
2008-04-21 02:32:00 Wyoming Manhuntby Ann VossCop turned rancher Jace Lantry had no idea how Shanna Clarke — a seemingly law-abiding single mother — ended up on the run from a rifle-wielding boss hell-bent on killing her. But when Shanna came to him, desperate for help, one look in her emerald eyes and Jace was powerless to resist. As the manhunt across Wyoming intensified, the more Jace believed in Shanna's claims of being framed. The question was, why was she a target? Now with both of them being hunted, Jace knew the quiet future he desired was no longer possible thanks to the deadly repercussions of this tempting woman's past.Wow. Seriously, just wow. I could NOT put this book down. It (quite literally) starts off with a bang, and never once slows down. I read it in one day--a unusual thing for me lately because my schedule is so crazy. But, I pushed everything else aside and dove right into this suspenseful tale.Our heroine, Shanna, goes on a hunting trip with her boss thinking she was up fo...

Manhunt 2 FINALLY cleared for UK
2008-03-17 16:16:00 It's hugs and kisses abound no-doubt in the Rockstar hallways, as its long battle to get Manhunt 2 released in UK is won with an 18 certificate from the BBFC.Rockstar's appeal to the Video Appeals Committee was quashed once before by a Judicial Review from the BBFC, but the VAC has now reconsidered its decision again in the light of "the High Court's directions on the law".By a majority vote of four to three, the BBFC has issued Manhunt 2 an '18' certificate. But it doesn't sound too happy about it..."As I have said previously, we never take rejection decisions lightly, and they always involve a complex balance of considerations," said David Cooke, Director of the BBFC."We twice rejected Manhunt 2, and then pursued a judicial review challenge, because we considered, after exceptionally thorough examination, that it posed a real potential harm risk."However, the Video Appeals Committee has again exercised its independent scrutiny. It is now clear, in the light of this decision,...
UK:Ban Lifted on Manhunt 2
2008-03-16 16:27:00 Manhunt 2, the "sadistic" video game banned for by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) over its portrayal of extreme violence, has been cleared for release following a legal challenge by its makers.The game is set in a mental facility, and players have to escape by slaughtering members of a sinister organisation by sneaking up on them and using improvised weapons such as a pliers, a syringe or a power-saw.The BBFC ruled that the game's "casual sadism" and focus on "brutal slaying" could unleash a "range of unjustifiable harm risks to both adults and minors" as it "constantly encourages visceral killing". It was the first video game to be banned in the UK since 1997.Read more at Telegraph

When a product is deemed too dangerous for release, the board may refuse to grant a classification and effective ban on the introduction of the product. Manhunt was first filed in June 2007 and the graphic content depicted in the game is cited as the reason for the game is refused a classification.Rockstar at the same time stated that there was no difference between the level of violence in Manhunt 2 and the degree of violence that can be found in other products which ...

Manhunt 2 UK Ban Upheld by Court - SendMeRSS
2008-01-27 16:37:00 Manhunt 2 UK Ban Upheld by CourtThe British just won’t let up! The Manhunt 2 saga continues in the Queen’s country as a High Court judge in London upheld the ban within the region, overturning Rockstar’s appeal granted last month, according to ITN. The game was initially denied rating by the British Board of Film Classification, barring it from sale in the UK. A toned down version was subsequently released in the US as an M-rated title; interestingly, the BBFC banned even the modified version. A month ago, Rockstar successfully appealed to the Video Appeals Committee, forcing the BBFC to assign a rating to the game. Apparently, the VAC’s decision was flawed by a “clear error of law”, according to the High Court ruling. The judge has reinstated the ban and the VAC has stated that it will reconsider its decision in light of the court’s ruling.

Manhunt 2 Banned, to Face Trial
2007-12-21 20:58:00 We discussed the possible British ban of the Rockstar video game, Manhunt 2, just the other day. I said then that I wasn't sure when the whole thing was actually going to trial, since this has been brewing for several years now, but it appears the ban, momentarily lifted, has been reinstituted.While some may decry this as a matter of free speech, I just can't buy that. On the other hand, I also don't accept that when it comes to pornography. You just can't pick and choose which subjects - or people - you apply the law to; either the law is applied uniformly or it cannot be applied at all. And while there is obviously a difference between outright violence and porn, that line is becoming more and more blurred with each passing day - but that is not my point.No, my point is: how can you say that Manhunt 2 and similarly violent material encourages violence without saying that pornography encourages irresponsible sexual behavior and the objectification of others? Or even rape?I...

British Censors Seek Manhunt 2 Ban, Blame Game for Murder
2007-12-17 18:18:00 Manhunt 2 has been the focus of much consternation in the UK for some time now, and we've discussed it here before. But I didn't realize this part of the story had unfolded beforehand:In late July of 2004, a 14-year old boy, Stefan Pakeerah, was lured into a park and bludgeoned and stabbed to death by a 17-year old boy. The victim's parents claim they overheard the attacker's friends saying he was "obsessed" with the Adults Only video game and blame it for the murder.As some of you know, this is a sticky issue for me: part of the reason I quit playing death metal was because of things like this. Most of my material was about murder - as you also know, I'm a steadfast splatterflick fan and the content was all gore, all the time - and even though I staunchly defend my right to create such material, and know that the material is really, really good, I had to admit that I didn't think I could live with myself should something like this happen and my art be part of the equation....

But she has obviously been busy all week at South Beach's annual Art Basel festival, where Paris was seen getting cozy with her ex Stavros Niarchos. Perhaps not coincidentally, Stav has lately has been cavorting with Hilton rival Lindsay Lohan around Los Angeles. Could girl-on-girl competition have amped Paris' ardour?Don't bet against it. Because now the gossipmongers at the New York Post are saying Paris has been trailing Stavros through Miami nightclubs all week long, including Mansion, Set and Mokai, where one partygoer had this to say to the paper's Page Six:"Paris saw that Stavros was with a girl, and she went crazy. She literally stood on Stavros' table and began screaming at him. Then she started dancing and trying to get his attention."Sounds like it could be just another night of Paris table dancing. Yawn.
