You Led Me On! — Dating In Video Games
Strangely enough, the only "normal" dating scenario presented to me in video games comes from Grand Theft Auto and Bully. That's even funnier to me than Short's misunderstanding.

How To Throw a Gamer Party
Day Before – Pick out what games to play. Ideally, you’ve got one game in mind, but it’s considerate to have a back-up or two that people can vote on.

PSP Sales Drop In Japan, But Xbox 360s Are Up [Simple 2000: The Japanese Hardware Chart]
The upward trend of Xbox 360 sales continues on this week's Media Create hardware chart, with Microsoft's console up a good 15%. It didn't have much of a software showing this week, outside of Bully: Scholarship Edition, so we have to wonder what's going on over there. Is Japan... jumping in?

Bully 360 Patch Arrives
Rockstar's promised patch for those experiencing issues with the 360 version of Bully has finally arrived. It's a fairly small update and will fix all those frame rate, audio and other petty annoyances. And now if you'll excuse me I have some boys to kiss. In the game, not in real life. Well mayb...

Rockstar Readying 360 Bully Patch [Patches]
Rockstar's Bully: Scholarship Edition came out of the oven a little half-baked, with frequent lock-ups, audio glitches, and a generally poor frame rate severely ticking off gamers and downright horrifying the developers. Thankfully Rockstar was able to overcome the horror and get to...

A Week In Comments (Ban Monday Info)
All of Rockstar's other games are forgettable, have mediocre sales, and usually only stand out if they are like Manhunt and just include senseless violence just to attract controversy. Now I'm not bashing JRPGs... I have yet to see a game that is worth 60 hours.

Opinion: Analyst: No Bully 2
I agree with Wedbush Morgan Securities' Michael Pachter, but for a different reason. Simply put, Bully was built on the Grand Theft Auto engine and, as I said in my otherwise positive review of the game, that engine is starting to chug. Bully 2 ??? Industry Analyst Says No [Game Politics]

Florian Buys Bully
Today, I went down to GAME on Dawson Street to pick up a copy of Bully, which has been released over in Ireland under the far inferior title Canis Canem Edit, because, as you all know, only the ancient tongue of philosophers and kings can accurately capture the spirit of a game about stink bom...

First Bully Review Hits...
It is! I pity your losing streak. Even to an egomaniac like you, that's got to be depressing.

Here's a little snippet I found from Gamebrink's re...

The Bully Pulpit
The most idiotic thing about the furor over Rockstar's upcoming school-based game Bully is that it's fueled by one of the scantiest PR campaigns I've ever seen. A single trailer (or two?), some fantastic concept art, and a few sentences make up the entirety of the information released by R...
