Los Angeles - Major retail chain Target (NYSE: TGT) has pulled game publisher Take-Two Interactive's (NASD: TTWO) controversial title "Manhunt 2" from its store shelves, GameSpot has confirmed. The gory title was initially given an "AO" Adults Only rating -- which most retailers wont carry -- but developer Rockstar Games resubmitted a version that received an "M" Mature rating. Target cited the recent revelation that hackers have found a way to unlock some of the "AO" content, still contained in the game's code, for its move. "While Manhunt 2 was given a Mature rating by the ERSB, we received additional information that players can potentially view previously filtered content by altering the game code," Target told GameSpot. "As a result, we have decided not to carry the game."
