I'm only on the second of 6 chapters, but mostly because I get distracted by side missions and, er, misbehaving. Should point out that the title is misleading: far from being a bully (though you can be, I guess) the plot encourages you to stick up for the underdog. It's all a different scale to even something like GTAIII, but the music, mini-games, atmosphere and plot more than compensate with their charm. Only criticism? Loading screens. It's probably the most engaging sandbox game on Wii - the graphics are a small step up from PS2, but with gameplay this diverse and amusing I doubt it'd bother anyone. The Wii version benefits from multiplayer games and using the motion detection of the remote+nunchak for fighting.

Bully was my first thought for No.10, bringing back memories of Grange Hill, Rockstar have crafted a warm and cathartic world to lose yourself in. I should've done more of these things at school and been less of a goody-two-shoes! Excite Truck also seemed relevant. Burnout reigns supreme in the highway chaos stakes, but Excite Truck's settings, skiddy and dizzy controls and complete disregard for gravity conjure happy memories of Saturday tea time TV: The A-team, Knightrider and The Dukes of Hazzard. Ultimately, though, I will recommend Zack & Wiki for resurrecting the spirit of the Knightmare game show and, more closely, its predecessor, The Adventure Game. Each area/room has a puzzle to be solved, a cartoony doom awaits those who fail and, most importantly, you can gather around the goggle-box and enjoy it with others (other remotes can be used to draw hints/distract on the screen) Good article!
