Grow Up Australia! Sign the Petition for an R18+ Games Classification

Friday, February 5th, 2010

EB Games appears to have joined forces with the Grow Up Australia campaign and is promoting their petition to the Australian government to have a classification for games that matches the one we have for movies. The notable omission from our current game classification system is R18+.

Instead these games get an RC rating: Refused Classification. And since the government seems to be on the war path against Refused Classification material — the proposed mandatory web filter will prohibit RC material — it’s important to get an R18+ rating. And since the average age of Australian gamers is 30, it’s not like the children will suffer.

Sign the petition now!

Hanging Out for BioShock 2

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

In preparation for BioShock 2 I’ve just completed BioShock. What a sizzler of an ending, man I didn’t see that one coming! Had me on the edge of my seat.

If there’s more of that in BioShock 2 then I’m sold.
