SEGA are taking Sonic out for another spin - and this time it's on PSP in the form of Sonic Rivals 2.

Fans of the original should expect more of the same, but with plenty of improvements. There will be "a revamped rival 'jostling' gameplay system", "upgraded power-ups and range weapons", and "Tails and other new characters" have been added to the playable roster. The collectable cards will make a comeback, and will also be "greatly increased", as the number of cards out there has now been bumped up to 150.

New modes include "Free Play", which "will allow players to enjoy each level at their own pace", and "Battle Mode" is a Wi-Fi option enabling "two players to jump into six different multiplayer challenges".

Sonic Rivals 2 is expected in Autumn 2007.

It's not looking too good for Rockstar, as the American rating board ESRB has today revealed that they have rated Manhunt 2 'AO' for Adults Only.

While the game could still be allowed sale in the USA (compared to the complete ban in the UK), Sony and Nintendo forbid any AO material to be legally released for their systems. Also, many retailers usually steer well clear of AO rated material because of its highly adult nature and thus niche market potential, and possible accidentally-sold-to-a-minor lawsuits.

In other news, Ireland has also jumped on the ban[ne]dwagon, as Irish ratings board IFCO "believes that ... the level of gross, unrelenting and gratuitous violence is unacceptable."

Rockstar is expected to comment on their options and the future of Manhunt 2 soon.

Sigh. Here comes another great TV tie-in, which is very likely to be of the same 'quality' as the Little Britain games. Yes, it's The Office. The American, NBC version of The Office at that - no Ricky Gervais here, folks.

Nothing is known about the game other than the consoles it will be made available for. And those just happen to be the PSP, PC, and DS.

I predict a minigame compilation. Any takers?
