According to the rumor, this action is being taken because of the game's violent content and the unfavorable media coverage the game has been getting. If you missed our previous coverage, you may already know that various groups and individual such as Common Sense Media and Jack Thompson have been launching campaigns to boycott the game.

If this rumor holds true and you wish to pick up a copy, other major retailers such as GameStop, Best Buy and Circuit City still have plans of carrying Manhunt 2. Hopefully, Target will release an official statement about the rumor soon to prevent gamers from having to spend time wondering if this shop will still continue to carry the game.

Hope it is just a rumor
