Bad luck Aussie peoples

NOOOOOOOOOO!

wow that is tough!!! sorry to hear that for you Guys...

I was talking to the guy at EB Games yesterday, and he said that it was because of the blood splatter, in the game. How could that be the reason. There are plenty of gory and bloody games out there. This is a conspiracy. Microsoft has paid the censor people in my country, not to release SH5, To give Fable 2 a better chance at sales. what else could it be. Dam Microsoft all to hell and back a thousand times.

man they are over sensitive in oz, didnt Blitz the league get banned because it should sports stars taking performance enhancing drugs, and the only reason GTA SA got released was because of the sheer quantity of sales, they decided they couldnt miss out. sucks to be a aussie gamer

Apparently it was because you could drill into creatures eyes, with a drill I guess. Its not like you could do it to people in the game. Its unbelievably stupid and petty to ban a game for that reason.

*spoiler*
A cutscene death features a woman who gets killed with a drill.
1 minute scene= B&

i feel sorry for you aussie's your government can be harsh

How could they do that? If they banned Silent Hill, they should have banned Bioshock too, that game has a LOT of blood just like Silent Hill. Sorry you guys. That's really a bad reason. You see blood like that in movies like Cloverfield.

Finally we got the bloody game. What gets me is that they banned it for the drilling eye scene, but in the Riddick game, if you have a shiv or screwdriver, one of the finishing moves is right in the eye socket. That's in the game frequently and they passed that. Maybe these gimboids who ban games only watch eh cut scenes? I am not against censoring though but they should bring in the R rating and only allow adults to buy the game. Kids should be playing Mario or something anyway not Silent Hill or Riddick. Come on seriously.
