Bully 360 Released: Happy Gay Achievement Day!
Today marks a big day for gay gamers everywhere as the release of Bully on the 360 brings us our first ever gay achievement. Purchase your copy of Bully, get kissed twenty times by the boys and get the twenty point "Over the Rainbow" achievement. Given that there are five guys that you can actually interact with this way in the game, you'll have to get a few smooches from each, unless your the monogamous type in which case, find your favorite and go to town! Say what you want about Rockstar, I think their inclusion of this achievement is ballsy and extremely awesome. If you need a refresher course on how to kiss boys in Bully, check here!

I think this is fantastic. Rockstar gets +1 respect from me.
I just picked up my copy on lunch break. Can't wait to revisit Bullworth Academy tonight!
So is this placation for the various homophobic nonsense that appeared in games prior to Bully? /golfclap.
Picking mine up for the Wii as soon as the shipment comes in.
@BlackRabbit: Rockstar's games make all kinds of tongue in cheek jabs at a lot of people/groups/organizations (both real and imagined) and even themselves, very much in vein of the South Park / Family Guy. I wouldn't call their nonsense "homophobic" per se, but I would call it "not for the easily offended."
Keep in mind you still hear pretty offensive comments if you do kiss a guy out in the open and the game makes no qualms about how saying everyone is obviously attracted to women.
Rockstar deserves no respect at all for this.
one of my favorite games on the PS2.... but I'm left somewhat bothered with the upscaled PS2 graphics on the 360. I was expect little bit more polygons on the character models since there is a lot of personality in those stylized 2D loading screens.
Still, there is no excuse to miss this game.
@game-boi: I’m quite sure many of the things that Rockstar puts in their games are meant in jest – that however doesn’t give them carte blanche to say whatever they please with no context. It may be funny, but it is also horribly irresponsible.
Rockstar games have a great deal of satire. The introduction to Bully is definitely over the top which sets how the content should be interpreted. I've only played an hour so far, but what I have seen is an impressive commentary on the realities of high school life.

Playing the 360 version now.
It is... so... glitched.
I've lost my save states twice now, because Jimmy got stuck in a doorway, or trapped in a locker.
I don't.. can't.. believe they developed this brand new engine, that it ttook them almost a year to concieve.
I really, fucking believe there should be a Patch for this game in the next Month.
Seriously? You are celebrating becoming a market? I don't like it one bit. They didn't do this to better humanity, they never do anything that doesen't provide better sales. And being critically acclaimed by just about any gay medium = lost of sales...
