Bully causes Brit-troversy a year late and a pound short

Like trying to resuscitate a year-old corpse, the UK's
Telegraph attempted to reinvigorate controversy about
Bully now that it's
coming to Wii and Xbox 360 in March. The
Telegraph gets mileage out of the non-troversy by
pulling a Manhunt 2 and explaining that acting out movements with the Wiimote is what makes this game relevant again as an issue. What also seems to stick in some people's craw is that the ridiculous renaming of
Bully to
Canis Canem Edit (Dog eat Dog) in the UK is out and the original name is back in.
Now that the game has been out for a while, is it too much to ask that critics play the game before commenting on it -- scratch that,
of course it is. Anybody who has played
Bully knows that it is a smart satire of boarding school and protagonist Jimmy Hopkins is clearly more of a
lover than a fighter. We're just hoping that the Wii and Xbox 360 versions of
Bully are precursors to a sequel announcement.
