I've had a Playstation 2 for about four months now, and I've been frankly startled at the varying quality of the games available. For every Grand Theft Auto, there's a Family Guy Video Game. For every Lego Star Wars, there's an Inspector Gadget. And this is about what you'd expect from a console that has been around for quite a few years. I have to say, I expected Bully to be more in the Inspector Gadget mould. Although I've yet to find anything that explicitly links it, it seems - amazingly - to be at least inspired by School Daze (aka Back to School) that first appeared on the ZX Spectrum in the 80s! Although everything about the game is updated ...  Read the complete review

When the PlayStation2 first arrived on our shores in late 2000, few people would have predicted that the series that would leave the biggest mark on the console would be Grand Theft Auto. The criminal-sim had strong roots dating back to the 1997 original, but following the unremarkable GTA2, the once-controversial series was, by the turn of the millennium, quickly disappearing into obscurity. However, Grand Theft Auto 3's explosion onto the PS2 not only showcased amazing 3D possibilities for the franchise, but it created a newly-recognized genre out of its non-linear nature and grand scope – now known as 'sandbox'. The rest, as they say, is history, and in ...  Read the complete review

Canis Canem (previously known as Bully) got a lot of flack from the media for glorifying bullying/truanting amongst other bad things in schools. All I can say is surely they could not have been playing the same game as I did? Yes, during the game you can get into scraps with other kids, skip school etc etc but ultimately you're encouraged to stick up for the weaker kids, help out the nerds and you're certainly punished for breaking rules regarding truanting and curfew. The game has been likened to a milder version of the Grand Theft Auto series (which is also made by Rockstar) and I'd say that that view is pretty much correct. It's free roaming, you have access to ...  Read the complete review
