- Yet another controversy involving Modern Warfare
2? - What do Cole Hamels of the Philladelphia Phillies,
Modern Warfare 2, and PSA's have in common? Apparently, they're all joining together

charging money for?"

Hunters is a PC full 3D role-playing game with adventure-like

docks where a mysterious clan of vampires rages free. The exact
gameplay details are slim beyond the 3rd person view and 'ATBS' combat

classic adventure game. There doesn't appear to be a demo but the game
is available via the site for $16.99.
