Tuesday 24 October 2006 Whether you think it's the ruin of Western civilisation or a Catcher in the Rye for the videogame generation, there's a far more pressing question about Canis Canem Edit: is it worth the £40? That depends. If you're any kind of fan of hand-to-hand ass-kickings, open-ended gameplay and standing up for the little guy, then the answer is a big "yes". Mixing equal parts free-form exploration, childish pranks and bare-knuckle violence, Canis Canem Edit is the story of ...

Menace to society or just misunderstood? We dig a little deeper to find out

First, let's clear something up: Bully both is and isn't Grand Theft Auto in a school. It uses the GTA game engine, so anyone familiar with those games should have an easy time navigating Bullworth Academy and the surrounding town. But while it's a mission-based, free-roaming adventure, you can't jack cars in Bully. You can't mug people, and you can't use deadly weapons or kill anyone. No hookers, sex or blood, either. So, is Bully the dangerous game everyone says it is? Only if you think Bart ...   » Read Full Bully preview

Friday 29 September 2006 Canis Canem Edit - the schoolyard adventure game formerly known as Bully - is only four weeks away now, but you could be forgiven for being a little clueless about how the game will work. We've been hands-on with Canis once before but to give you more of an idea of what Bullworth Academy has in store, we've picked the three best missions from Chapter One.

Bully - hands-on
Cause a ruckus and stand up for the little guys
Sep 1, 2006
If you listened to all the insane parents and random, ignorant groups out there, Bully is the reason you cry yourself to sleep at night. They all took one look at this schoolyard tale woven by the same company that sells Grand Theft Auto and assumed the game was all about beating the crap out of kids, stealing their lunch money and glorifying everything we all hated about growing up. In reality, Bully is almost the exact opposite. Jimmy Hopkins isn't out to cause trouble, or pick on students ...   » Read Full Bully preview

Back to school for a hands-on with Rockstar's playground ruckus
Sep 1, 2006
Friday 1 September 2006 There's not even a splash of the red stuff in the whole of Canis Canem Edit's boarding school adventure. But that hasn't stopped the 'ban that' pack slurring Rockstar as "irresponsible", or prematurely labelling Canis Canem Edit as a "Columbine simulator". So it's a good job that Canis - albeit with its new, not-so-contentious title - is set to tackle all the ridiculous fuss with a quirky, characterful and quality experience. Canis is set in and around Bullworth ...   » Read Full Bully preview

Rule the school in Rockstar's vicious little juvenile-delinquent simulator
Aug 11, 2006
The cheeky bastards at Rockstar have built an empire on letting gamers do things they'd probably never do in real life: stealing cars, running with gangs and stabbing skinheads in the face, for example. Now, despite frantic protest from watchdog groups, they're just months away from offering up a chance to slip on the shoes of everyone's childhood nemesis. In Bully, you'll play as Jimmy Hopkins, a burly little miscreant with a permanent sneer and a mastodon-sized chip on his shoulder. After ...   » Read Full Bully preview
