According to an article in the Boston Globe story, the National Institute on Media and the Family is boycotting Rockstar's Bully. After a staffer played the game for nine hours, its president, psychologist Dave Walsh, claims Bully glamorizes and rewards the kind of anti social behaviors that teachers struggle with every day. Now that the "T" rated game is out in stores the first press reviews praise Rockstar's latest game across the board, calling it one of the best titles of the year, a great satire, with excellent story and humor.
