PS2 - Bully - Bully banned in Brazil

A Brazilian judge has banned the sale of Rockstar's Bully.

Judge Flavio Rabello barred the sale of the game in Brazil (we're assuming that's all versions), following a request from a youth centre in Brazilian state Rio Grande do Sul.

The "aggravating factor" resulting in the Bully ban, says State prosecutor Alcindo Bastos, is the fact that "everything in the game takes place inside a school," which apparently isn't fair ...

PS2 - Bully - UK Writers' Guild Rewards Canis Canem Edit News After the furore surrounding Rockstar Games' Canis Canem Edit (a.k.a. Bully) eventually died down, few could argue that all the game contained was mild school ground pranks that left a warm, fuzzy feeling of nostalgia inside.

Thankfully, it seems that despite all the negative press, Canis Canem Edit has finally received the recognition that it deserves, picking up Best Videogame Script award at last night's Writer's Guild of Great Britain Awards 2007.

PS2 - Bully - Bully 2 ??? Industry Analyst Says No When it launched in October, reviewers gave Rockstar's controversial PS2 title Bully high marks. But don't expect Bully 2, says a leading financial analyst who covers the video game industry.

Michael Pachter (left), Managing Director of Research for Wedbush Morgan Securities, told GamePolitics:

"Bully sales trailed off pretty dramatically in November. In October, the regular edition of the game sold 125,000 units (I think that the collector's edition sold another 30,000 units¿) in the U.S., so we should assume it sold a combined 250,000 worldwide.

In November, Bully sold 105,000 units¿ My guess is that the game did NOT sell particularly well at holiday, so probably another 150,000 units worldwide in December. We expect it to sell another 200,000 or so units over the next few months, and to disappear from retail shelves.

Those estimates total 800,000 units at an average wholesale price of around $30, so it will likely generate around $24 million in revenues. Since the game took three years to develop, it likely cost Take-Two close to $15 million in R&D, and my guess is that the company did no better than to break even. I would NOT expect a sequel."

It's obvious this new Christmas-themed Bully trailer was divinely inspired by the baby Jesus - there's bitch-slaps, scrotum-squeezing wedgies, and children simulating what its like to smack buttocks during intercourse. Just look at this guy down below. Thats just one tiny example of how hardcore this little clip is. So sponge it into your brain, vomit it out upon your friends, and thank us with a firm spanking. Just click the Movies tab above and search hard for the Christmas video. Happy ...

PS2 - Bully - Boy on boy kissing in Bully Bully hero Jimmy Hopkins is bisexual, or just experimenting, based on videos starting to surface. Looks like the controversy about Bully was a bit premature, as Hopkins obviously prefers to make love, not war. This is not "Hot Coffee" by any stretch of the imagination -- just kids kissing.

Now before everybody goes crazy, depending on your moral sensibilities, there are two videos after the break. Gamebrink's version is quick like a band-aid, with one smooch session. Of course, GayGamer's version has Jimmy going back for seconds -- nope, thirds -- wait, fourths.
