Aliens VS. Predator banned

...in Australia. (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6242034.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;title;5)


They can do this but can't ban the export of Paul Hogan?

Not that I would have bought this game anyway, but this again highlights what a stupid ****ing classification system we have here. In essence, it's one dickish Attorney-General (the South Australian A-G, for those playing at home) who is stopping the system being reformed. Some people have organised a political campaign against him for the next election. They won't win, but I hope the cause him damage politically (even if he is from the party I support) and bring prominence to this issue.

Also, Paul Hogan is having a pretty epic legal battle with the Australian taxman, in which he may end up going to jail. Most of the damage has been done, but its a small step towards righting our wrong. ;)

I love their reasoning skills. One of their objections was “locational damage”. So it’s ok to shoot somebody, just not specifically in the arms, legs, or head. :p

The content of AVP is based on some of the most innovative and iconic horror movies, and as such we wanted to create a title that was true to the source material. It is for adults, and it is bloody and frightening, that was our intent. We will not be releasing a sanitized or cut down version for territories where adults are not considered by their governments to be able to make their own entertainment choices.

High-five to Rebellion. Ballsy choice of words.

Don't blame the country, blame Michael Atkinson. This douchebag is apposing an R18+ rating in Australia and it's exactly why so many titles get refused and edited.

Just read this.

Oh yes he is actually that stupid. He seriously underestimates the amount of gamers there actually are in this country.

Even the gamers who didn't really care about the R18+ debacle are going to realise how much of an idiot he really is.

Do what the Cubans do, Australians: Get on a boat!

Have you guys even seen pictures or gameplay of this game?

Its pretty ****ing brutal.

But i do agree that Australia is not the best place if you're a gamer.
They refused to sell L4D2. That alone shows how messed up thier rating systems are

[hawkofva]

L4D2 has a Low Gore mode though. Heads don't even fly off in that.
