November 9, 2007 (LPAC)--One of the leading street-corner dealers of video games, the retail store Target, announced yesterday they will not sell the super-violent game, "Manhunt 2," which concerns two escapees from an insane asylum, out on a killing spree with various weapons. The game was banned in England link, but has been given the blessing of the U.S. Congress's creation, the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

Target issued the following press release yesterday: "All video games and computer software sold at Target, currently carry ratings by the Entertainment Software Rating Board from early childhood through mature audiences. While Manhunt 2 was given a mature rating by the ESRB, we received additional information that players can potentially view previously filtered content, by altering the game code. As a result, we have decided not to carry the game."
