PatchAhead of the GTA 5 PC update, Rockstar is quietly working on Bully
In the pantheon of 'games we would all like but we might never get,' Bully 2 is up there now with Half-Life 3, Sleeping Dogs 2, and a new Titanfall. Originally released back in 2006, Bully takes the fundamental GTA formula and ages it down. Instead of a harden…
