Rockstar to release Bully game in October
Sticks two fingers up at critics

MAKER OF the controversial video game Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar, has confirmed that it will release a game with themes of school fighting in October.


"Bully", in which a 15 year-old defends himself against school bullies at a fictional US boarding school called Bullworth Academy has got the anti-violent video games lobby hot under the collar since it was announced last year.

The hero has to use baseball bats that break after several blows, stink bombs and bags of marbles that when strategically thrown will lay flat most pursuers. A Rockstar spokesman said that Bully can speak for itself. People can look at the game and see what it is and what it's not.

In March, Florida's Miami-Dade County School Board called on retailers not to sell the game to minors, even though development work on the game had not finished yet.

Rockstar said that the fighting scenes did not include blood or result in the death of characters. So, a bit like Tom and Jerry then. More here.
