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.

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.
