Could You Save Your Own Life? By: Matthew McKernan | - I don't care where you train, but please do something.

What You Can Learn From Manhunt The Video Game To Survive By: Matthew McKernan | - Rockstar Game's Manhunt came from the shadows back in 2003, and it changed video game violence forever. The game was made strictly for adults, and with good reason, because it was filled with blood and death, and it made the Grand Theft Auto series look happiness and light.
