Yeah, I like deadmau5 (as you can tell from the picture). i like the song collaborated with Kaskade called, "move for me". I want to get "lack of a better name".

"oh and btw the first murder to happen in the land down under is gonna get pegged to the happenings of this game."

Well just like JC stated in the article, when you see a ravenous, MONSTROUS, alien crossing the street or doing some schoolwork... just let it go unblasted. (i added a few in there). but i do get what you're saying. i hope the board doesn't go back on the MA18+ rating (once passed) decision if they see something like happen.

Knowing people, some Australian will dress up as a Predator and start stabbing people with home-made knives tied to his hands.

It kind of ironic after all this censorship in Australia, they now have a more liberal rating than here in the U.S.. Our Mature rating is 18+, funny how things work out.

I will buy this game regardless, but I hope it has a Horde/Firefight mode. A group of marines and/or predators against endless waves of aliens would be awesome.

Hmm I look at this as a stalemate.

The Govt gets to put off having to contemplate changing their rating system to include another higher rating tier (tho one could argue that even MA games would fall into the 15+ category based on the + therefore they wouldn't need another rating level which would mean their rating system was actually pretty lenient)

They also get to Tax the games which they otherwise would have totally lost any revenue from save possibly some import tax which they would have gotten anyhow from the distributors.

So no real progress is made and they get more money then they would have from "banning" the game which means people who wanted to play it would have just imported it.

My hat does go off to the games developer for not backing down and refusing to release a severely watered down version of the game because their broken rating system is broken.

Color me surprised. I figured this game would be a something censorship happy idiots could point at and say "this is what we are trying to protect you from!" Sure it makes no sense, but neither does censorship 99% of the time.

This is exactly why we need an R-rating. Here's another game that's been sneaked into getting a lower rating.

Nice job, Mr. Atkinson. Now instead of it coming into australia with an r-rating (effectively making it illegal to sell to kids) its not got an MA15+, meaning parents aren't even going to care that their kids are playing it.

I wonder how long it will be until Michael Atkinson tries to get this overturned. I'll give it 3 days.

He hasn't appealed any classification at all, so chances are he'll do nothing about this as well. Except to grumble in interviews about how the classification board try to get as many games in under the radar. But then he does nothing about it.

The man is a poor leader. He's probably only still in office because he is an incumbent.

"If you see a ravenous, monstrous alien, let it go unblasted."

Oh hell no! If I see a ravenous, monstrous alien, I need to know what to do!

This game will be vital training material for me.

Chances are you'll do exactly the right thing, even without the training from this game (where you will learn the same thing unless you're ina squad of marines with bad-ass weaponry)... Run for your life, throw garbage, babies, your girlfriend, your best friend, your furniture and whatever you can at it until someone who's better than you manage to kill it...
