So this dude was in the SAS? from what he said that makes him a conditioned killer-in-waiting. Keep this man away from games! one look at a L4D2 screenshot and its bullets for all!! When will people like this sit down a think critically about what they are subjecting 15 year olds too. I can sum that up in 7 words "Stuff only a mature person should play"
We Australians need an R18 rating simply because children ARE getting adult-orientated games NOW! MA15+ is an 'advice' rating to inform parents that the content needs to be monitored. If a store sells a MA15+ game to a 14 year old, there is no legal repercussions for them as long as a parent was present at purchase. The R18 rating means it is legally restricted to persons under 18. If a parent lets there 12 year old play a R18 game they can be prosecuted same goes for a store that sells it. The R18 label will be instantly recognisable to even the most dim-witted of parents. Attorney-General Atkinson and this god-bothering moron seem to be under the delusion that a r18 rating will bring a flood of porno games that are waiting at the border for the "God fearing folks' to let their guard down. So Australia, would you rather your 15 year old play the 'No Russian' level in MW2 or someone with 4 more years of development and reasoning skills behind them?
