First of all, I can understand that there are people out there freaking out as they see something that looks pretty much like a dead human's skull, but from this to saying that some plastic skull-shaped mini speakers are sick is a very-very long way. I showed these funny speakers to some friend and she was compl... |

Where to begin...? Manhunt 2 has seen more controversy than any video game out there before it was even released.

You want blood, more blood, devious plot twists and situations so desperately hopeless that you simply can't think of a way out of them? You got it.

Oh yes, there will be blood. Couldn't help myself from using that line - I've been looking for a chance to use it in ages...

If you aren't sick yet of vampire and/or slasher movies, then this is something you should totally see.

If you thought you knew your horror/survival games, you're dead wrong. Take a look at this trailer and then take five to think about what the whole game will be like.
