Rockstar Goes Back to School for Bully
We'd like to hope that a game set in school will have fewer guns and less drug use, but this is Rockstar...
The Grand Theft Auto series has given Rockstar a reputation as a creator of innovative and in-your-face games, and it's these qualities in particular that seem to be at the centre of the company's new game, Bully.
Developed at Rockstar's new studio in Vancouver, Canada, Bully is a comedic romp through your school days that lets you do the things you wished you had done, like standing up to the mean kids, or pulling pranks on them, or even going after that girl who caught your eye in maths class.
Other than the general concept, though, there's little else known about the game. Bully will be showcased at E3 next week and is scheduled for release this October.
