With the release of Manunt 2 for the PlayStation 2 and the Wii right around the corner, we're only weeks away from a full-on media blast against the videogame industry. With its violent content and subject matter, Rockstar's "murder simulator" is made even more potent when paired with Wii remote. Nintendo's peripheral becomes your fists, a knife in your hands, a gun ...
But as gamers, we're not monsters. People put their pants on one leg at a time; gamers pull the wings off of flies one wing at a time. They raise their pinkies while drinking fine wines and talking about the evils of digital entertainment; gamers pour out sips of their 40 ounces of King Cobra for their fallen clan homies. They appreciate fine art; gamers appreciate concept art ... as long as it involves S&M clubs and dead bodies.
In this Manhunt 2 concept art Rockstar sent our way, a wide variety of gritty locations and tones are set for the game. I'm glad the title reaches beyond a mental hospital, and not just because I wanted to spend some time in a dirty brothel. But hey, I'm not one to turn down wild nights of sleazy sex with a one-legged, junkie prostitute.
[Editor's note: Mom, if you're reading this -- I am one to turn down wild nights of sleazy sex with a one-legged, junkie prostitute. Love you.]

It's an exciting time for the legal system, too. They get to overturn all the unconstitutional, knee-jerk litigation passed by politicos fearful of unparent backlash. It's a good time to be a gamer, or a lawyer, for that matter.
Jack is probably ready to blow a gasket, much like someone who hasn't had sex for a while. He probably writes fake press releases about Manhunt and sends them to himself... like legal wanking.
I'm with Jim. Right now i wouldn't buy M2, but I sure do hope it turns out to be enjoyable. i don't think rockstar can fail twice, I think they've got their shit together this time around
Look here!
