Above is our brief comment about last week’s Rockstar release, Manhunt 2. Let me say that we do not have any bone to pick with Rockstar Games. In fact, we took our time to post this comment because we didn’t want to be a part of the media hype.

We believe that they have the right to publish content as long as there is an audience for it and as long as it is targeted appropriately. Having said that, we want to help fellow parents identify whether or not games are appropriate for their families. For the most part, we try to provide you the information so that you can judge. But I believe that it’s clear that this title is neither intended, nor appropriate for children.

Having said that, the Halloween release date seemed appropriate for a horror/slasher title. I believe that the real source of concern over this title is based in the misconception that videogames are only for children. This is just no longer the case.
