The boy was obviously mentally unstable and should not have had access to Manhunt, but he did and it influenced him to do a copycat killing, and it was a copycat killing, there's an obvious link.
I think there's a strong chance of Manhunt being banned completely, especially since GAME have removed it from their shelves; I wonder if SR are going to follow suit.
I don't mind if Manhunt gets banned as I do think it's a pretty sick game, I did try it but I didn't like it and traded it for something else, however if it does get banned then what next? I read in the papers today that because Manhunt has been removed from some stores, the victims mother is looking to take action against other violent games.
If Rockstar do get sued for this, and get sued bad then it could effect games like San Andreas and any other games they have on their development schedule. I have nothing against Manhunt being banned, but I just hope that it doesn't effect any future games that may be likely to cause slight offence to anyone. Next people will want racing games banned to reduce accidents on the road.

I dont really care. I already have a treasured copy :)
To be honest who would be stupid enough to actually do that. One of the best things in life is gaming ( For me ) and the worst thing is actually taking it seriously.

Yeah, but then there'd be no GTA.
I hope someone brutally murders you...

Manhunt is DISGUSTING.
I hope someone BRUTALLY MURDERS the developers of such a SICK game.
