Hunt for Manhunt 2
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007
When Manhunt 2 comes out this July it maybe harder to get your hands on a copy than originally thought. So far the ESRB has given the game a “temporary” rating of “AO” meaning “Adults Only”. No surprise there the game is hella violent and really really graphic definitely not for kids or teen for that matter. The reason it may be difficult to find is that massive game retailers like EB Games/GameStop, Wal-Mart and Blockbuster Video will not carry a title with an AO rating.
When the first Manhunt game came out here in Ontario, Canada the Ontario Film Ratings Board (They rate games too) gave it an “R” (Restricted to adults) but since places like Blockbuster carry “R” rated films they couldn’t discriminate against the game for having the same rating.
For those of you who fancy a bit of the ultra violence and are over the age of 18 pick it up a copy of Manhunt 2. It looks like it maybe one of the better 3rd party titles this summer.
WiiRally Feature Friday
Friday, January 5th, 2007This week Wii Parental Controls
Well everyone the first work week of 2007 has come to a close. This weekend is a good one to catch up on those little tasks that may have slipped your mind during the holiday chaos. One such thing that may have slipped your mind is to set the “Parental Controls” on your brand new Nintendo Wii. Well that’s why we have “Feature Friday” every Friday I’m going to try and go in-depth with one of the features of the Wii. Due to recent developments with the Wii Opera Browser I thought that parental controls would be an excellent place to start.
Now most parents don’t know this but for the last two console generations home consoles have come with a parental lock. Similar to those found on DVD players the Wii’s parental controls are no different from those that have come before it. The Wii’s parental controls work with the ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) ratings that appear on all games so that you can restrict what game titles are played on your Wii console. To do this, simply follow the steps found after the jump (more…)
