    Electronic Arts and Valve submitted another version of L4D2 and it has recieved MA15+ classification... good news, but I think the censored version will be kind of lame. Valve has also released a censored game cover:

    Okay, this just ruined my week, not to sure how many Aussies we have on AD but here it is anyway:
    Apparently Australian gamers can't stand piles of bodies lying around. Seriously though they let movies like saw play in cinema's but they cannot let adults play a video game? Political correctness gone too far.

    Well atleast now I have an excuse to do the illegal thing and download the game online... the OFLC made me.

    Hopefully it gets passed.

    Maybe if it had Mad Max in the game and you could melee Master Blaster then they would be down with that.

    I'll be doing the same. Importing is illegal, so, *shrug*

    I really don't see how this is any more violent then fear (btw fear should be banned and all copies should be burned in a fire). The government really has to bring in an R18+ game classification. From what I read on the OFLC website the thing that got it banned was the use of the meelee weapons, but don't most FPS have a meelee option?

    dead rising?

    samurai swords and chainsaws did a fair amount of damage and were pretty gorey, that gets through but not this?

    the oflc always does crazy crap though.

    Almost sounds like the German FSK/USK to me. But hey, atleast you got an uncensored cover of the first game, we didn't, also on Xbox 360 in the German version we have green blood.
    Normal cover:

    Yes, the thumb on the German cover is still there.

    its true if they ban this game they have to ban so many other games too. but who said the world was full of logic.

    Wow, I'm suprised that L4D 1 wasn't banned from australia then. On the US cover it says 18+, we have no 18+ game classification in Australia. L4D1 was classified MA15+.
