Bully: Scholarship Edition
Bully has taken a beating in Brazil, where a judge suspended sales of the video game on the grounds it is too violent for young children and teenagers, a prosecutor said Thursday.
Judge Flavio Rabello prohibited the game from being imported, distributed, sold or promoted on Web sites or in stores in Latin America's largest nation, said Rio Grande do Sul state prosecutor Alcindo Bastos. Companies have 30 days to comply with the judge's order.
Bastos said the judge found the game was inappropriate for children.
"The aggravating factor is that everything in the game takes place inside a school," Bastos said. "That is not acceptable."

Bully: Scholarship Edition
Despite the fact it's already been sitting on the shelves for over a year on PS2, another ruckus is being kicked off over Rockstar's Bully, reignited thanks to the upcoming release of Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the game.
UK publication Daily Telegraph describes the new Scholarship Edition, as an "even more realistic" take on the 2006 original, which "encourages players to act out assaults on pupils and teachers." Beating a dead horse much?
The game's also sparked additional rows by ...

Bully: Scholarship Edition
A violent new video game which is set in a school and encourages players to act out assaults on pupils and teachers has been condemned by anti-bullying campaigners and teaching unions.
The game, called Bully, features a shaven-headed pupil who torments fellow students and teachers at his school.
Critics said the game was "glorifying" school bullying and called for it to be banned.
The PC World and Currys chain of stores said it had already decided not to stock the game. A spokesman said: "We don't think this is suitable for sale in our stores. We are careful about what we sell and this is something we have decided not to list."

Rockstar has announced that the school year at Bullworth Academy will begin in the US on March 5th and March 7th in the UK with all the crotch kicking, swirlies, hiding in lockers, stealing and boy kissing you can handle.» Read More

Joystiq writes:
"Jimmy Hopkins is supposedly ready to kiss the girls (and boys) at Bullworth Academy on Wii and Xbox 360 starting March 3. Bully: Scholarship Edition will feature "new content" and that's still all about we know at this point. Perhaps we'll get a little hands-on time with it at GDC, but we don't even really know if the Wii version will have waggle and the Xbox 360 will sport better textures."

Bully: Scholarship Edition
According to French site Jeux-France.com, the remake of Rockstar's PS2 title won't be hitting the Wii and 360 until 7 February. It had previously been listed as appearing this year.
Given that 2007 is now drawing to a close and we've not seen much of it yet, this isn't exactly a huge surprise. Still, if Rockstar feels it needs more time, so be it ¿ the PS2 version received glowing reviews when it was released in 2006, so a little extra development time will hopefully ensure that the 360 and Wii version are of the same standard.

Bully: Scholarship Edition
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.
