They're just doing it to piss people off now. The games aren't even all that great.

Considering it's rather different from the stock GTA clones, it might actually be pretty good. Plus, think of all the hubbub it'll raise by politicians playing the 'protect kids from violent videogames' card; there's no such thing as bad publicity, after all.

Catapults? Hypnotically-implanted information? Well that's just plain silly.

It was really just an excuse to write on blackboards, beat up small kids and jump on them, and bounce catapulted balls of paper off teacher's heads. So don't knock it, it was damn entertaining. Forerunner to GTA? In spirit quite possibly!

I'm loving how up in arms people apparently are about this... how dare we make a game about things that happen to school kids everywhere? That's just not right... lets stick to more wholesome games like every single modern-day shooter there is.

Bury your head in the sand and the problem goes away, indeed.

Bury our head in the sand? No. Bury a nerd's head in the sand? Booya.

Oh wait a minute I thought Bully had fallen into the realms of vapourware. Kinda glad it hasn't, I was quite interested in it.

The title is a bit of a misnomer, they whole point of the game is to punish bullies by beating them at thier own game. I guess you could do the whole two-wrongs don't make a right thing, but the call out against this is very misplaced.

He's already tried. It's funny, that guy has lost all respect even in the parties he thinks he's helping.

Meh, he makes me laugh, I used to read his rants at Game Politics, what a complete Dipstick :)

He's now issued a law-suit to try and get hold of a pre-release version so that it can 'be evaluated by someone who is sensitive to societies needs' or the like...

I always think of the time someone hacked his site and added the tune 'Biggest Douche of the Universe' to it ;)
