And so...it begins! Manhunt 2 has to go out there and get labeled with an AO rating, and now violent games everywhere are getting to harsh finger of criticism pointed their way. In today's news, the game Dark Sector's publisher has been asked to pull some trailers of the game that were deemed too violent. So there you go, apparently no more trailers unless they have ponies in them.

"We recently received a ruling from the ESRB stating that the two officially released Dark Sector gameplay montages have been deemed to contain excessive or offensive content," said a company spokeswoman in an email to GamePro, among others. "[The trailers] are not to be available for download or viewing, regardless of being placed behind an age gate," she added.

As a result, D3 cites the ESRB requirement in that the trailers must be pulled immediately upon receipt of the notice and that the videos will no longer be made available for public viewing. Typically, all trailers must be pre-approved before release, but strangely, no specific infractions were mentioned in this case.

"A lot of companies have been calling about this" said D3 before deferring further comment on the subject. They did, however, note that the announcement will in no way affect final gameplay.
