| Rockstar Begins Manhunt 2 Marketing Campaign
London - Rockstar Games, the development division of Take Two Interactive, and the creator of the Grand Theft Auto series, has begun marketing the sequel to the violent game Manhunt. Envelopes containing two bloody medical bracelets and a letter were sent to game reviewers. The letter reads: "Enclosed are Danny Lamb and Leo Kasper's ID bracelets found discarded after last night's incident. This is the only potentially damning evidence we have found so far. I trust every possible precaution will be taken to ensure that any records relating to these patients are destroyed. "We are all too aware that both subjects pose a highly serious threat to society, let alone the very existence of ‘The Project.’ Both patients suffer severe psychotic episodes characterized by intense paranoia, involuntary psychotic reactions, delusional hallucinations and acute schizophrenic disorders.
Angry Gaming 03.05.07: Brace Yourselves
Welcome to Angry Gaming, the place where all that leftover malice from Shadowhearts goes after each game. I am your hate master, Damian Sarcuni, and today I am referring to myself as the salami swami as much as possible. Feed me Seymour! Brace Yourselves Have you ever seen the Disney movie The Little Mermaid? Yeah you have, don't lie. Everybody saw that damn movie, and everyone loved it, or at least parts of it. There's something in that movie for everyone, from the god awful love songs to the maniac chef who keeps trying to cook Sebastian the crab. Personally, my favorite character in the movie is the sailor on Prince Eric's ship who only yells one line: "Hurricane a comin'! STAND FAST!! SECURE THE RIGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN'!!" That is the 2nd greatest line in all Disney flicks (the 1st is "How could you hope to defeat me? ME?! The mistress of all evil!!" in Sleeping Beauty) and ever since then I haven't been able to look up at a rain cloud filled sky without feeling the urge to belt that line at the top of my lungs.

PSU Staff Roundtable: GTA IV Wish List
With the next iteration of the blockbuster series Grant Theft Auto currently in development for the PS3, the staff here at PSU thought it would be a good time to talk about what they'd like to see from the next title. We discuss everything from co-op play to comedy, so sit back and enjoy the discussion! We'd like you to get involved also, so leave your thoughts and wishes as comments below. Now, what do we all think? Eric (Journalist): My greatest hope for Grand Theft Auto IV is a living, breathing, world. Don't get me wrong, the last generation GTA's made great attempts and even came close to creating a lifelike world, but small things like seeing the same character model over and over, or passing 3 of the same cars drew you out its hold. Another thing on my GTA IV wishlist is multiple story paths.
Ask the Ethics Guy
Apparently one of my employees told him that he could dine anytime between 6 a.m. and noon, so he assumed that he could grab a meal before his early flight out. However, we do not begin serving until 7 a.m., so it was not possible to meet my guest's needs on his last day with us. I decided to make an unfortunate situation better by refunding him a full night's fee. My husband thinks that I should have simply given him back the cost of the breakfast. He says that being too generous is just as bad as not being generous enough. What do you think? A: Your husband is correct that it is possible to give too much of oneself, but I don't think your response fits this category. Although the ethical principle of fairness (what I call Life Principle No. 4) did require you to right the wrong, your going above and beyond the call of duty is praiseworthy.
