Atari explains Silent Hill Homecoming's Aussie edits

Atari emphasizes that changes were only made to some scenes and that the story remains unaffected. The OFLC originally didn't classify the game because of several gore-related issues -- particularly those involving drills. In good news for Kiwis, the game will remain unedited when it releases in New Zealand.

Silly Australia.

Yes, no game released in America has ever had to use "camera angles and techniques" to "reduce the impact" of violence.

How should I know? I don't live in the US.

I think we should have national treasure Sarah Palin explain the importance of drilling to Australia. In person. I'll even chip in for the ticket, providing it's a one-way.

I wonder if they edited the drill scene in The Darkness.
Not sure how you would.

I urge all Australians that want to buy this game to import it from New Zealand, or whatever other English-speaking country you can get it the cheapest from.

Wow, this new Silent Hill sounds terrible. The whole game was always about suspense, now it sounds like Saw 11.
