For those of you that do not frequent Gamespot, Rockstar Games developed an extremely violent game (think Saw and Hostel) called "Manhunt 2" that earned an AO (Adults Only) rating from the ESRB, effectively preventing the game from being distributed in the United Kingdom. Sony and Nintendo also have rules against releasing AO games for their systems. Rockstar is the same developer that created the controversial Grand Theft Auto series that had Hillary Clinton up in arms, as well as Bully, that also garnered some overdramatic attention from the media. Rockstar has been forced to shelve Manhunt 2 as a result of the aforementioned. The question now becomes: What will Rockstar develop next to follow-up its legacy of drugs, crime, murder, and bullying?

I asked Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games Sam Houser what was in store for Rockstar.

Boz: Thanks for coming out today, Mr. Houser.
Houser: I'm happy to be here.
Boz: Mr. Houser, I don't want to beat the Manhunt issue to death. You've shelved the project, so what other games are in the pipeline for Rockstar?
Houser: I'm not supposed to discuss this, but we have almost finished this new game. You have a cannon, and have to fire a kitten as far as possible. It would bounce a few times and there would be explosives, and...
Boz: Excuse me...
Houser: ...bombs, spikes. The cute kittens would be eviscerated. It's so...
Boz: Mr. Houser!
Houser: What?
Boz: That idea has been done. It's already freely available as a Flash game.
Houser: Really? Did it get a lot of press coverage?
Boz: Not really.
Houser: We'd get a lot of press coverage for it.
Boz: That's nice, Mr. Houser. Do you have anything else lined up?
Houser: Well, yes. There are tons of unexploited ideas in gaming. At Rockstar, we're shocked nobody else has come up with this stuff already. We have a team working on a necrophilia game where you have to sneak through graveyards, find fresh corpses, and...
Boz: Thanks, but I get the idea.
Houser: But I haven't even gone into the Wii controls, yet.
Boz: That's okay. What else is Rockstar working on?
Houser: All kinds of stuff. Our crack creative team has a huge list of ideas. There's Baby Seal Clubbing, that uses the Wiimote, too. You have to...
Boz: Any other titles?
Houser: Yes, but I'll never get to them if you keep interrupting me! We have a dolphin-killer game coming up, a rainforest logging game, one where you get to be a child molester - they're so misunderstood - and one where you get to play as an Al-Qaida terrorist!
Boz: Mr. Houser, don't you think that is a little politically sensitive right now given the World Trade Center bombing and ongoing conflict in Iraq?
Houser: Nonsense! Think of how great the game would be: You start out as a recruit in a Middle-Eastern country like Pakistan or Iran, smuggle your way into Afghanistan and work your way up the Al-Qaida ranks. Eventually, you move up to become an Iraq insurgent, and recruit women and children to go on suicide missions. Eventually, you would go on to attack U.S. installations yourself. Eventually, you get to be the right hand of Osama himself!
Boz: Wouldn't it be better if you played an undercover U.S. operative rather than an insurgent? The game would be pretty much the same, otherwise.
Houser: Don't be ridiculous, we'd get no press coverage!
Boz: Don't you have anything a little less graphic, like the table tennis game you developed for the XBOX 360?
Houser: We did a table tennis game? Was anyone impaled?
Boz: Mr. Houser, is there anything else you might like to say about Rockstar's future before you go?
Houser: Oh sure! We have lots of great stuff on the way. Keep an eye out for the Ku Klux Klan FPS (first-person shooter). We're still working on the licensing of the Unreal 3 engine so we can get some great lynching effects in full Directx 10. We want the flaming torches and crosses to appear extra-real. We're thinking of calling it "Triple-X, Triple-K", or something along those lines. We've also got a Trauma Center inspired game set at Planned Parenthood. We're not sure if we're going to go FPS on that one or not, yet. Oh, and one more. We're planning on doing a full remake of the original Wolfenstein using a new graphics engine.
Boz: Really? Wolf3D was one of my favorites!
Houser: Except this time you get to be a Nazi
Boz: Uh, okay then. Mr. Houser I have another meeting to go to.
Houser: I thought you said you were free all afternoon?
Boz: Yes, but The President called and I have to go.
Houser: The President? Come on, I'm not stupid. You said we'd go to Red Lobster!
Boz: Mr. Houser, I really have to go.
Houser: Come on!
Boz: Hey, stop touching me!

This interview was a parody, and never actually happened, except in my head. Rockstar and Take-Two are in no way affiliated with me or my crazy ramblings. It was for your entertainment only. Mr. Houser is probably a really nice guy, like those South Park fellows.
