    My favorite bit of this news is Shawn Lee's return. Bully's soundtrack is so fantastic that I bought the CD just to support it. #bully

    Bully was a totally underrated game in the sense that it made open world "sandbox" games come full circle back to the old adventure game genre.

    It was like a beat em up version of Willy Beamish (in a way). Hopefully they explore more interesting narrative directions with Bully not relying so much on brawler game mechanics. #bully

    Awesome. Bully is still one of the best implementations of the Wiimote, especially in a port. Would have been a perfect game if not for the bug that took away my color camera. :-/ #bully

    Cycling around campus and town with a camera to complete the year book is for me one of the most memorable moment of gaming history. It conveys something very very strong about social integration and self growth through Art. #bully

    That's what I like to hear! Traveling through those Northeastern inspired town settings outside of Bullworth Academy always reminds me of the fall. I think this game ranks up there in my favorites and the prospect of a sequel has me excited yo! #bully

    I actually bought this game twice: once for the Wii, and again for the 360 this afternoon ($3.60 at GameCrazy on their last day of business). If there's a sequel, I'm definitely interested. #bully

    Oh yes. Bully 2 with the GTA4 (Emotion?) Engine. The first one wasn't the most impressive game technically, but I loved it on the 360 because the focus was more on actual design.

    If Rockstar can up the production values without turning the thing into another tech demo, this could be a great game. Also ditch the T rating, it really held the game back for nothing: it still was a menace "for the children" because boys could kiss. I want a college with frats, drugs, sex and a serious story.

    Between this, Max Payne 3, LA Noire, Agent and Red Dead Redemption, the next two years are going to be really busy for them.

    Why did people like this game? It was a neutered GTA in more ways than just maturity. It felt like playing a PS1 or N64 game. #bully

    This was one of my favourite games Rockstar has ever put out. More than Grand Theft Auto III, San Andreas (and even GTA IV to an extent).

    It felt like Dennis the Mennis and was nicely orignal to see a school setting use GTA-esque gameplay.

    I had it on the PS2 originally and then happily bought a 360 copy.

    Putting ribbons in my hair and kissing all the boys (well, one boy, since there was only that one blonde kid who was gay enough to make out with me) for that achievement was priceless. #bully

    I never got into Bully. I don't really know what it was about it I didn't like. I do vaguely remember some clunky controls but there was more to it than that. Whatever the case, I'd be interested in seeing what they do for a second game. #bully

    @-MasterDex-: I couldn't get into it either. I got the scholarship edition for the 360, but I think I played it for a couple of hours, and then just never wanted to put it in again. Then I traded it in for something else, that got traded for something else...

    ... well, you know how it goes.

    I have a PS2 in my room that I use for late-night insomnia sessions though... I might give the PS2 version a re-try if I can find it on the cheap. #bully

    ..you can sleep with somebody you're not even in love with, but damned if you can get them to marry you without sinking a ton of time..

    Is it really that different in real life in this day and age?

    Persona 4 does a pretty good job, but that's to be expected considering the game is part dating sim. Grow closer to someone, choose to pursue a romantic relationship or not, continue to spend time with them and go out on weekends even when you've maxed your social link.

    @Ladi: The weekends part well it's funny :). If you've got more than 1 relationshiop going which is easy (since breakups don't seem to happen once maxed out), you're bound to find the previous g/f gatecrashing your current date. you'll end up going out with her as your current date usually just leaves (probably because there's still a few at that point to level up).
    The weekend romance bit in that game is amusing really.
