After the furore surrounding Rockstar Games’ Canis Canem Edit eventually died down, few could argue that all the game contained was mild school ground pranks that left a warm, fuzzy feeling of nostalgia inside.
Thankfully, it seems that despite all the negative press, Canis Canem Edit has finally received the recognition that it deserves, picking up Best Videogame Script award at last night’s Writer’s Guild of Great Britain Awards 2007.
Nominated alongside Rockstar’s return to school was their own Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Charles Cecil’s Broken Sword: Angel of Death.
Xbox 360 and Wii owners will shortly have the chance to sample one of the most the award-winning script and one of the most enjoyable games we’ve played in years, with the release of Bully: Scholarship Edition finding its way to these formats towards the end of the year.

Either SEGA is lining up some sort of videogame adaptation based around the literary works of Arthur Miller and taking us back to witch hunts and Salem, or perhaps it’s the evil on the snooker table they’re referring to, either way a recent registration at the US trademark hints at a possible future title.
Entitled The Crucible: Evil Within, our guess is on the former, and given the nature of the registrant we’d even go so far as to say this could be the rarity of a game developed by SEGA Japan that isn’t Virtua Fighter or Sonic.
That’s about as much information as we can garnish at this stage, although there’s always a long gap between trademarks and actual game confirmation, we’d imagine SEGA to officially confirm the existence of the title in the near future.
