Roll ups and Appeals.... mmmm...mmm

I figured I'd write this up while I'm waiting for my dinner vietnamese rollups to be done, but some good news today for me and all the people who want to play manhunt 2! there is a chance! I actually preordered this game since it was spose to come out in July but sadly it received a AO rating (adults only), which the ESRB usually use the AO rating for games with boobies and snatches, but for a psy horror game? WTF? To get you people that don't know what's been going on, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony doesn't allow AO rated games, so Manhunt can't even be played! So Rockstar the company who makes GTA IV and Manhunt can either edit the game, and have puppies instead of chainsaws like the picture on the right, or appeal the AO rating, or be done with the game all together. Well good news today!

After nearly six weeks of silence since UK's Manhunt 2 ban, Rockstar has filed for a hearing with the Videogame Appeals Committee, an entity with the power to overturn the existing ruling by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification).

A date will be set for a hearing, in which the VAC panel will view demonstrations of the game while weighing each side's arguments. I really hope Rockstar can pull this one off and promise not to put any codes in like hot coffee or a code that shows your wiener. I'd like to play this on the Wii with all it's bloody horror glory, and say video games are a form of art.

Heavenly Sword demo came out on PS3 last week and I've seen some gameplay and it looks like God of War time three. PS3 title Heavenly Sword wasn't always a PLAYSTATION 3 game. Back in 2003, a "concept trailer" for the game appeared, and the game was apparently destined for the Xbox. The game's developer, then known as Just Add Monsters, made one game for Microsoft and then went bust. By 2004, GameSpot reporting that the game was in development for "next-generation consoles," while the company said it was looking for publishers. A year later, the game was a PS3 exclusive.



Here's a couple of last minute nuggets of news for ya. Nirvana's album Nevermind will be available for Rock Band after the games release. A new patch for Shadowrun is available which makes the load times under a minute now and other fixes as well. I leave you with some New Army of Two gameplay, a tight new Co-op game coming out for 360.
