Each of these gods can be thought of as epitomizing rage, hope, despair and pleasure. In the Northern Wastes, Chaos seeps into the world, such great power causes the environment and inhabitants to become tainted and mutated by it. The inhabitants of the Wastes worship the Chaos gods, and thus the

Just as the original series did in 2003 and 2004, it simulates an online world without forcing you to deal with the hassles - other players, lack of story - that come part and parcel with MMOs. But if you listen to the words of the creative minds behind it, that's about all it shares with the original games: it's been improved in every way.

In light of Bully's new, but less punchy title (all puns intended), we wondered if Canis Canem Edit really is up there with the dodgier names to grace game shelves over the years.
