Left 4 Dead wasn't even that gory or gruesome in any way.
God Of War III doesnt stand a chance if L4D2 is banned.
| --OkeyDokey-- said: It'll probably make it through in the end, but this BS has got to stop. We don't have a R rating for videogames for some retarded reason. If I had to guess, it's because the classification board is run by a bunch of old farts who still think only kids play games. |
You can blame exactly one person for Australia not having an R rating for games, Michael Atkinson. All the other Attorney-General's agree that Australia should have an R rating for games, but this clown has some personal adgenda against games. He is even blocking the release of a document show the results of a survey on whether the Australian public thinks an R rating should be put in place. It's obvious that the document must show that Australians are in favour, otherwise why would he be blocking it?
As long as the game is sold in other PAL regions (or is region free), as there are no restriction on importing the game, console players will be able to import copies. PC users should also still be able to purchase it off steam without any issues too (unless steam has an australian based server for sales, I've never used it so I'm not sure).

I forgot that Australia is really strict about this stuff. Over here in America, such things don't cross our minds, we're suckers for gore and violence.... |
We make up for it by being less strict about sex n nudity :D
And yes, it is that dickhead of a South Australian AG that is stopping it.
LMAO can't wait until they ban God of War III so the riot can finally begin.
Import ftwz
The germans missed out on resident evil 5's DLC because they didn't like the idea of humans killing humans in VS mode.
Now the poor aussies get this crap?
Theres far worse content out there in film and media than a game where you simply kill "the infected"
Sorry aussies, this is bad news.

I thought of that the second I saw Helios' head come off. @ MAFFKA Yes, but all the Australians with region locked 360's are screwed. |
I'm going out on a limb here, but won't UK games work on an unmodded 360?
Do the games follow the same region coding as DVD's?
Anyway, this news sucks, and for me just adds to the reasons why I shouldn't move there.
It's a damn shame. I was starting to love that country more and more each time I visited 
This is NOT an anti-Auzzie rant, I'm just pissed off at certain individuals in this and other gvt's telling everyone how they can and can't use their money and free time.
next on the list, banning racing games for encouraging irresponsable driving. so long FM4 and GT6
