Game play in Manhunt is a bit different from what you might expect. You don't want to go toe to toe with the roving thugs: they're tough, and if one gets in trouble, they will all mob you at once.

Not so last month at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This crowd was more mack daddy than Macworld. Bono, Mick Jagger and Dr. Dre made video appearances. Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart was in the audience. Sarah McLachlan sang her latest hits live. What was pulling these musical supernovas into Jobs' magnetic field? A software product that just might save their free-falling industry: the iTunes Music Store...
