ManHunt 2 Video Game: Blasted for Linking Mental Illness to Violence; Retailers Asked Not to Sell Based on Public Health Concern
ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) today condemned the controversial video game Manhunt2 based on its irresponsible, stereotyped portrayal of people with mental illnesses, asking that it be recalled or modified, or that retailers decline to sell the game. NAMI executive director Mike Fitzpatrick issued the following statement:
“NAMI asks Rockstar Games to recall or further modify the videogame Manhunt2 due to its irresponsible, stereotyped portrayal of mental illness. We also ask retailers to be responsible in responding to public health concerns.
First thing to go was the booth babes. Then it was the monster booths!
But now there is a new show. And its for the gamers! E FOR ALL.
So, what did these lucky gamers get their hands on before anyone else? The lines of fans patiently waited to play Solid Snake vs Mario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but the show floor had a more literal competition. Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Snake’s own adventure, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, were both playable for the first time! So, who throws a bigger punch?
