Remember the whole out cry back when the first Bully came out for the PS2 and watch-dog groups/main stream media were saying there would be a raise in violence among teenagers over the game? While it's been almost 2 years now and still no raise in violence, Rockstar has released Bully for two new platforms, the Xbox 360 and the Wii. Did the no raise in violence stop watch-dog groups and the main stream media from speaking out against the ports? Hell no. They still are going on a panty raid  have their panties in a twist over the game. What's even more intriguing is that according to globeandmail.com, Rockstar Vancouver also developed Grand Theft Auto AND Manhunt! This is certainly shocking news as Rockstar Vancouver didn't even EXIST when those two games were made!

The video game, which goes on sale Tuesday, is an updated version of the original game, Bully. Both titles were developed by Vancouver-based Rockstar Games, which is also responsible for the controversial Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt series.

A Rockstar spokes person responded to them saying

"As a matter of principle, we hope everyone starts off by saying, 'Okay, we know this is an entertainment experience,'" Rodney Walker said. "Video games are not just for children. This game happens to be about high school and it's a tough kid in a tough environment, but it's also one of the funniest games you will play. And if you don't have our sense of humour, we respect that, but we think that fans' voice has to be at least as important as the detractors."

The article goes onto say.

 The game, which is rated Teen for players 13 and over, is being released for XBox 360 and Wii, which is a console that allows players to physically act out their characters' movements.

If this was true, we would be acting out a sigh just about right now.
