Rockstar games has a new game scheduled to be released this fall... its called Bully and its pretty much GTA in the sense of you are a bully, and you go around school beating up kids. No one dies in the game, but you can imagine the controversy surrounding the game's premise. :thumbdown Video Oct 18, 2006 Review Oct 13, 2006 Trailer 4 http://ps2.ign.com/articles/611/611166p1.html http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/b...x.html?q=Bully Info Quote: Bully gets T rating
Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar game previously decried as a "Columbine simulator" by watchdogs deemed suitable for ages 13 and older by ESRB.

Take-Two Interactive has had its share of controversies in the last couple of years. The discovery of a sex minigame in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, dubbed "Hot Coffee," and that game's subsequent rerating comes in at the high end of the controversy scale for inspiring federal gaming legislation, while the discovery of a "nude" skin and more violence than was initially rated in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion seemed to cause less of a stir.

Rockstar's controversial prep-school drama will be released this year; source says Xbox version bullied out of production.

When the word "controversy" springs up in a discussion about gaming, the name Rockstar Games can't be too far behind. With games like Grand Theft Auto, The Warriors, and State of Emergency in its portfolio, the publisher has been the frequent target of watchdog groups concerned with exposing younger audiences to violence.
Feathers were further ruffled when Rockstar announced it was developing Bully. The long-in-development game is set in a fictional prep school and stars a 15-year-old boy who must deal with all types of high school characters, including geeks, jocks, and bullies. Players will defend themselves against other students with weapons, but the fight scenes don't feature any blood or fatalities, reports Reuters.
| The game was originally scheduled for release on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox but may now be a PS2 exclusive. A source told GameSpot today that the Xbox version, as speculated, has been canceled. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6155541.html?q=Bully

| | Rofl - kinda hard to believe that's a real interview... seems like a skit that a bunch of pissed off teens would put together and post online as a spoof.
