Manhunt is a classic game released for ps2 & xbox original. The game brought serious intensity to a very dark and violent videogame story.

With so may dark, demented, gory & bloodsoaked videogames released today, manhunt to me remains one of THE very best, although it may not have aged well, it does not take away what a major hit it was with mainstream players.

Manhunt is a stealth-based psychological horror video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games.

 originally released for the PlayStation 2 on November 18, 2003, and for Microsoft Windows and Xbox on April 20, 2004.

Manhunt follows the story of convicted serial killer James earl cash, who wakes up after his execution to realise...He's still Alive?!

You take control of Cash, who is given an opportunity to escape by "the Director" a mysterious man who locked you up in carcer city, jam packed with more free roaming criminals..the worst of the worst, who gets off to violence and will be watching your every move via cctv.

If your going to escape. Prepare to get EXTREMELY VIOLENT!

How can a thriller be both horrific and hilarious at the same time? The humour in The Resident keeps poking its head up in the most unlikely and inappropriate circumstances, and I loved it.

Thomas Brogan is a serial killer on the run, who finds an abandoned end of terrace house to hide in. He discovers that this house and the other three in the row have a shared loft space. So Brogan starts to spy on his neighbours. He has a penchant for playing games with his victims, and this is an ideal set up for him - and the secrets that he discovers are more than enough to keep him entertained.

This is such a fast paced, entertaining read, and I can well imagine it as a film. There are some very interesting twists and turns, and some real heart-in-mouth moments. It was another great reading experience with The Pigeonhole, the comments and opinions from the other readers making it all the more entertaining, and the author dropping in to answer questions. This is what makes The Pigeonhole so great!

If you like your thrillers a bit gory and a bit inappropriately funny, you’ll love this book - I did!

I know it's a bit strange, but I haven't actually read the first two books in this series however, this didn't detract from my enjoyment of this story. Although I recognise I have missed quite a lot of the back story to Sarah's character, Iain has provided just enough information so you don't feel lost.

What we have hear is a fast-paced story where the hunt for a serial killer intertwines with the hunt for a terrorist from Sarah's past; both are hell-bent on bringing the Nation to it's knees in fear.

Sarah is a strong cookie but even she is questioning her ability to keep going. It is clear she has been through a lot and is damaged by her experiences but she has little choice but to hunt those responsible for the atrocities that are occurring with her colleagues in the Major Crimes Unit.

Full of action, this is a book that is hard to stop reading from the first to the last word. There are surprises and twists along the way and, I have to say, a very satisfying ending.

Thank you to Iain for providing me with a copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
