Tomorrow is Halloween and though many will be taking their kids door to door or hovering around the door in some creepy costume to scare the kiddies, gamers by the thousands will instead be turning the lights off and sitting down to the glow of their computer and television screens this halloween due to several highly anticipated titles being released tomorrow morning.

Manhunt 2 - (Rating M for Mature content)
Releasing on multiple consoles including the Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2(PS2), and Playstation Portable(PSP), this game is on a second release stage after its initial release was rated AO (Adult Only) which caused it to not only be barred from any platform besides the PC, but also cut them from the retail shelves of most retail establishments. Though the company refuses to comment on what parts were cut or outright edited, this game has been put through the rating mill time and again until it was able to be whittled down to a good solid M for Mature rating so they could release on multiple platforms. Unfortunately this game has hit those involved with rating a few too many times and it appears that the European market has decided to outright ban this game upon principle. As always, Rockstar, the developers of ManHunt 2, are trying to toe the line of decent entertainment and violent smut among other things.

From the reviews that I’ve read about this game, regardless of them winning their M for Maturity rating, it’s still by far considered one of the most violently graphical games which is viewed as so far extreme that people who typically embrace games of gory nature are even going conservative towards this game saying that it comes too close to home and is far too disturbing to continue playing. So this might not be your type of game even if you’re typically into the blood and violent gaming scene. http://www.rockstargames.com/manhunt2/

The Witcher - (Rating M for Mature content)
Though this game shares the same rating as Manhunt 2, it’s very VERY far from similarity in content. Some have rated this game as THE RPG of the 2007 year. If you are a person who enjoys a game with a very strong backstory that takes you out of your world and sucks you into the game, then The Witcher is a must-have. Inspired by renowned Polish author, Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher is full of conflict of all natures including social, political, and racial. The world The Witcher is set in is neither black nor white, and instead dwells within the grey areas of a world gone wrong.

The Witcher features real-time combat with over 600 unique animations instead of the few that most games tend to use. If their website is to be used as a measuring stick to rate this game by, then the game is just going to be amazing. The website is amazing and has definitely caused me to look closer at this game, so check it out. http://www.thewitcher.com/

Hellgate London (Rating M for Mature content)
Also coming in with a Mature content rating is Hellgate London. Another game which is said to bring back a feeling of nostalgia from the Diablo 2 days but with guns and a slight first-person shooter feel thrown in the mix. This game has earned its Maturity rating for obvious reasons with zombies coming and trying to overrun the place, you’ll have to fight your way through epic battles. This game, much like the Diablo 2 series, is not only single-player, but also has multiplayer gameplay where you can meet up with thousands of gamers from across the globe to battle against in a very similar way that Dungeons & Dragons Online has presented to the MMORPG market. http://www.hellgatelondon.com/
