BBFC may reconsider Manhunt 2 ban, says lawyer |
Ó
If you are somehow hoping to get Manhunt 2 any time soon, we suggest you spend your money on some other video game first. Because according to James Pond, an associate at game specialist law firm Osbourne Clarke, it may take a while before British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) reaches a decision. He explained:
Last time this happened with Carmaggedon the appeal worked so that's a positive precedent. Rockstar has taken a while to build its case, so they've obviously been taking stock of what the BBFC have said. They will have to work together to agree on making the right cuts.
In the event that BBFC reconsiders, James Pond added that Rockstar could still have problems with the terms of agreement. "If the BBFC feels that the violence running throughout the game is too much - it's not like a film where you can just cut certain scenes," added the associate.

i hope they do first comment
They better release the uncut for each platform.
"making the right cuts."
MEANING EDITING IT"???? F()CK THAT
Now, someone may have said this before now....but instead of cutting bits of the game completely, how about a gore and violence level system; much like house of the dead. That way there can be less complaining about where everyone stands on gore and violence (because this is what its about), because there is now an option, or if Rockstar can afford it, maybe even releasing two versions. Uncut *like pwner1 said* and censored, like the german Grand Theft Auto (GTA): Liberty City stories.
See? Problem Solved...

SWATcash - Where the checks they fire are never blank! Great, fun site with a friendly community and nice helpful admins over there. This is a GPT site that pays via paypal or check with a minimum of $15 in earnings to request payout. 20% referral commision. Extra goodies like missions and an armory and weapon shop and alliances. Missions: When completed all missions you get extra goodies! Armory: Buy armor and weapons to increase your atk and defense skills so people can\'t steal your SWATcash (not real money- that\'s safe with you) and you can steal others once a day for extra swatcash. Alliances: Out of 3 alliances, you may pick one. The highest amount in avg. earnings for each alliance, as well as infiltration points (you can attack other alliances), and referrals you get extra goodies. You can get 2 free referrals with 25 swatcash by buying the Walkie Talkies in the armory. That got me an extra $50 in my earnings. Also the weekly contests will get you atleast $1000 plus more if you are a lucky one for more info go here.... http://www.freewebs.com/eazybilz/swatcash.htm [Pays through paypal and cheques, minumum payout is $15] proof of payment.. http://www.freewebs.com/eazybilz/proofofpayment.htm _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _____ Earn Money for doing, What you been doing for years.

I was just about to ask if anyone else saw the irony in James Pond representing video game concerns at a law firm.
