www.rockstargames.com/manhunt
This November 19th, you will know all too well the darkest days of James Earl Cash's violent life.
For now, we invite you to retrace his tormented steps. Haunted by what he has undergone.
Brutal, torturous shards of memory that refuse to subside.
Return to explore Cash's nightmare.
Visit treacherous corners of dilapidated real estate, used as a sadistic playground to satisfy the sick fetish of a depraved underground.
Video. Audio. Stills. And the release of the very first Manhunt teaser trailer. Now at www.rockstargames.com/manhunt.
Above ground, game journalists worldwide continue to react to Manhunt..
"Manhunt is [Rockstar's] unique manifestation of videogames as adult entertainment... Manhunt isn't joking around. ...the hide-and-seek dynamic is so effective, you're soon immersed in the survival nature of the gameplay. With its seriously bleak environments, unsettling minimalist electronic soundtrack and the knowledge that you're under constant surveillance, Manhunt manipulates your paranoia with panache... the game delights in shredding your nerves to bits... the violent, nihilistic context and the need to overcome the test of psychological endurance is an important part of the challenge... Rockstar stands for cool, controversy and cutting edge gameplay... Manhunt embodies all of the above."
- PSNEXT (UK), Oct/Nov 2003
"[Rockstar North has] scraped its imagination to further twist the way games are made in the future and delivers a chiseled, no-apologies assault on gaming standards... it possesses a warped subtlety that questions game reality... It creates a barren, harsh, violent experience and then punctures it with something trippy and darkly comic..."

ROCKSTAR DEEJAYS: SEPTEMBER EDITION
www.rockstargames.com/music
* Disco D @ Filter 14. Part 1. This 2 part series might be one of the greatest things you will ever hear. The ghetto-tech pioneer celebrates his birthday with a capacity crowd at the NYC Booty Bar monthly. Special guest host: his mom. Awesome.
* Lord Sear @ Joe's Pub. Part 1. You know him from classic episodes of Stretch & Bob, you know him from his v.o. appearances in Grand Theft Auto 3 and State of Emergency. If you really know your ish, you know him as Kurious' DJ and music video scene stealer back in the nine four. These days, New Yorkers know him as a ubiquitous, and damn good, DJ. We warmly (pause) welcome him here in his debut at Rockstar Deejays. Hallmark staples in a set he has dubbed "Harlem Classics Vol 1".
* Skwidboy @ Drinkland. Part 1. The mountain time zone breakbeat and house champ sometimes makes journeys back home to NYC to sate inebriated Drinkland revelers at King Size's long-running Saturday night jam. Xmas 2002 was one of those times. He calls this set "God's Gifts". Enjoy it.
* Mr Fine Wine @ Botanica. Part 2. And it don't stop. Rare, original pressings of funk, soul goodness brought to you by the guy who does it best. Check him Friday nights on his Downtown Soulville WFMU radio show.
