Rockstar has confirmed its controversy-riddled PS2 title Bully has received a name change -- in Europe, UK, and Australia. In these territories, the game will now be known as Canis Canem Edit, which is Latin for " Dog Eat Dog."

While this name may not exactly roll off the tongue like the original name, perhaps it will serve to deflect some of the negative press that the game has been getting throughout Europe. The game had previously received a large amount of negative attention from anti-bullying activists and parents groups. Of course, in North America the name remains unchanged, so American anti-Rockstar advocates like Jack Thompson will still be able to continue their vigilant crusade against the game.

A Rockstar spokesperson declined to comment as to just why exactly this change occurred in these regions.
