The daily mail section over here took a dislike to it.

Obviously!

Anyhow..... a good friend of mine is a Games Journo for spong.com (they provide most of the info to the games industry) and he says it's a very good game..... possibly the release of the year.

Heh, I've never heard anyone say journo before. =D I've heard it in movies, but never in real conversation. Exciting moment for me!

No offence but spong.com usually gets a large percentage of its 'news' wrong.

Re: The game itself its just another game that Rockstar have made knowing it will sell off the back of the controversy.

Isn't that all part of being a "Journo"?

TBH the games industry does itself no favours, constantly missing release dates and providing inaccurate promos..... but Meh! That's not important........

The game is getting rave reviews from all sections of the games press.

I read that they changed the name for the euro release because some yank lawyer was trying to get it banned and they thought it might tone down the bad press if they renamed it. the reason he wanted it banned was for a couple of reasons, for the name bully ( pretty self explanitry) and and in the game, you can start relationships with girls and boys. basically if guys are your thing you can have male kisses instead of female.
the game is awesome though. highly recommend

Some of the shops in the UK have refused to sell it as well but thats all down to the Bully aspects.
