Bullying certainly isn’t new, nor a “phenomenon” at all. Hell, I was bullied over 40 years ago and a few times after that in a few schools, but I managed to overcome the stress of those incidents over time thanks in part to an immersion into gaming, art and a few other hobbies. Living is the best revenge against the evil ones out there, I say. Sadly, technology has actually greatly enabled those who make the lives of millions of others miserable on a daily basis and in fact, access to it has allowed some of the more daringly deluded types who pick on others to use the Internet as a means of spreading their misplaced rage and energy in every direction. Is there a way to stop this by making them see the errors of their ways or is fighting back never a decent solution? Questions, questions. Hopefully developer Minority Media has at least part of an answer…

Their new game, Silent Enemy (currently in development) looks to step into this subject and perhaps shed a little light into some means of resolving or at least understand some of the whys. Like their first game Papo & Yo (get it on PSN or Steam!), fantasy and reality will no doubt collide in playable form and end up as a memorable experience for any and all who pick up a controller. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one as it develops, so stay tuned for updates…
