Aliens vs. Predator un-banned

PS3 News | Whoever wins, we won?
After the OFLC refused classification of the anticipated Aliens vs. Predator game, thus preventing its release and sale in Australia, SEGA Australia has announced today that the decision has been overturned.

According to Darren Macbeth, Managing Director of SEGA Australia, the Australian Classification Review Board has overturned the RC (Refused Classification) rating, without any cuts made to the game.

In his words, "It is with great pleasure that we announce the success of our appeal. We are particularly proud that the game will be released in its original entirety, with no content altered or removed whatsoever. This is a big win for Australian gamers. We applaud the Classification Review Board on making a decision that clearly considers the context of the game, and is in line with the modern expectations of reasonable Australians."

The game has been re-rated as MA15+.

It’s no wonder other countries get the idea that Australia is a backwards country, when I see things like this.

Isn’t Australia supposed to be a modern forward thinking country? I don’t want to see Australia get stuck in its ways and become old fashioned before its time like Britain has. At least Britain has 18+ ratings for games! Let’s move with the times, catch up with the rest of the world and get practical ratings for games for crying out loud! How hard can it be?

It’s a parent’s responsibility to protect their children from sex and violence in games. If they are too thick to read the bloody box and decide for their self, then that is not our problem, it’s theirs. Surely if its easy enough to fine shops that supply banned games if they sell them, then they can do the same if they fail to check for ID when selling an 18+ game to a kid.

The rest of us should not have to suffer for any suspected incompetence on behalf of parents or game retailers.
