Take-Two puts Manhunt 2 on launch limbo

Manhunt 2 logo - Image 1Publisher Take-Two Interactive appears to be getting ready for the long haul, in light of Rockstar's recent appeal over Manhunt 2's (Wii, PSP, PS2) ban by the BBFC.

The company has just sent out their latest financial reports for the fiscal year of 2007 which, aside from stating their current revenues, also indicates that Manhunt 2 has been removed from this year's release roster.

Take-Two's planned launch titles for the fiscal year of 2008, which includes Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3, Xbox 360), further indicates that Manhunt 2 is not expected to launch next year as well. Take note that this does not necessarily mean that the company is dropping the game completely.

For now, it may be safe to speculate that the company hasn't dropped the game outright - rather, Take-Two's simply keeping the game under the radar until the controversies that have been hounding it blow over. Now, in case you're wondering what else will be accompanying GTA 4 for next year, here's a list:
  • Beaterator (PSP)
  • Bully: Scholarship Edition (Xbox 360, Wii)
  • College Hoops 2K8 (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2)
  • Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PS3)
  • Grand Theft Auto IV Episodic Content (Xbox 360)
  • L.A. Noire (PS3)
  • Midnight Club: Los Angeles (Xbox 360, PS3)
  • Major League Baseball 2K8 (Multiple Platforms)
  • NBA 2K9 (Multiple Platforms)
  • NHL 2K9 (Multiple Platforms
  • Sid MeierÂ’s Civilization Revolution (Xbox 360, PS2, DS, Wii)
  • Top Spin 3 (Xbox 360, PS3)

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://xrl.us/ezymoney you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products. Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate, I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from \"KNGSIDE MEDIA\" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true, but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day) You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS. Think it\'s a scam? Read this(from the website) \"We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so. Most of the time you\'re asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!\" There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers! [NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!] VISIT HERE FOR MORE INFO, MORE PICX OF CHEQUES, TIPS AND GUIDE FOR EASY CASH! http://xrl.us/ezymoney AND FOR A QUICK PROOF OF PAYMENT.... http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/078f947140.jpg

» gt4 might get altered MIGHT

Grand theft Auto portrays a real city for the first time New York City and mayor Bloomberg doesn't like the fact you can perform all these criminal acts virtually in his City. I think as a consumer and citizen of NY we should have a say and I say............ RAAAAAAMOOOOOON E GET THIS FRISKY BILLIONARE A CHEAP BJ'S CARD TO SHOP FOR SOME SOUR GRAPES!

» "First time"?

It's not the first time GTA has portrayed a real city. Liberty City is based on New York City. Vice City is based on Miami. The three cities in San Andreas are also based on real cities.

» GT4 VS Chocolate Rain VS Jesus Juice

Chocolate Rain... waits for the world... to grow up again.



Chocolate Rain... where we can violate hookers in games



Chocolate Rain... where shoddy songs with stupid lyrics get stuck in your head.



Chocolate Rain... I rather watch re-runs of Barney to get over



Chocolate Rain... hoping to forget it after the purple dinosaur sings again.



Chocolate Rain... Jesus Juice is not sounding so bad when compared too



Chocolate Rain.

» about these making cash things

these websites offering cash for free are knd of dumb. i mean, you do get some money, but its such a small amount compared to the time it takes to complete the tasks. i worked for about an hour and only made 13 bucks. not to mention its tedious work. if anyone wants to try it use my url so i at least benefit a little from helping you out. www.ca s h cr a te.com/301544

» maybe

i think they are referring to the fiscal year(which ends on sept. 30) rather than the actual year
