Over-regulation, its the Australian way. You should see some of the laws our government pulls out of their ass when we host international events.

It's all because of the ''chems.'' Sad... Is GTA IV available for sale in Australia?

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Thats because we don't have an R18+ rating for games. The step below that is MA15+ which is what a majority of the games which get 17+ ratings in the US are given. We would have an R18+ by now, except the SA Attorney General is so out of touch with technology and "worries" that these games would get into the hands of chilren.

As has been mentioned, either import it, or what a majority of people who really want the game end up doing, pirate it.

Because regulators refuse to have a r18+ classification.
