Platforms: PC Genre: Beat-Em-Up, Adventure, Action RPG, School It's been almost two decades (!) since the release of Rockstar Games' Bully game.

The book A Man Called Ove is about a grumpy person with a dark backstory who ends up getting his cold heart melted by his new neighbours, all while attempting to off his own life. It's not exactly a new tale but it's one worth retelling in cinema form for the sake of being a crowd-pleaser drama-comedy hybrid. However, these kinds of movie adaptatio...
The media empire is sure as hell a fast-paced and cutthroat business.

So it's no surprise...
