With the re-release of Rockstar's Bully, many critics have called for the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 versions of the game to be banned due to the title's supposed detrimental effects on children. However, Nintendic fights the corner of Rockstar and defends Bully in what looks like a case of many misinformed parties.

With titles such as Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt 2 under its belt, developer and publishe, Rockstar Games has become synonymous with the word ‘controversy’ in recent years. So when the firm revealed that it was to re-release Bully for the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360 this year, it wouldn’t have taken a genius to predict that the game would be the catalyst for another wave of moralistic uproar. So, in the light of certain stores refusing to stock it and this writer having to produce two forms of identification in order to purchase Bully, does it really deserve the negative attention and condemnation it has been getting? Xboxic thinks not.
