Fallout 3 Out Of Australia As OFLC Strikes Again
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 11:06am 10/07/08 | 40 Comments

Another one has been forced to bite the proverbial dust as the OFLC has refused Bethesda's hotly anticipated post-apocalyptic action/RPG, Fallout 3, classification here in Australia.

Earlier this week we pointed out D3P's Dark Sector had finally been allowed a rating after having questionable sections of the game (by the OFLC's standard) removed. And unfortunately today we're here to tell you Fallout 3 may have its artistic vision and integrity torn asunder to sate the powers that be at the OFLC. This is just another blow to the Australian games industry where we're being forced to play unintended versions of many a great game here in Australia because of a lack of proper parental control and that ever elusive R18+ rating.

We've contacted Fallout 3's Aussie publisher, Red-Ant, to see what they have to say so stay tuned.

Yeah never had a crack at a fallout game either but am looking forward to this. These guys at the OFLC need a reality check though. What's next?

our aussie game ratings are an absolute joke. dont they (OFLC/government) realise that the game industry is the largest entertainment industry in the world now and its not only for kids. the average gamers age is 28 i believe. like i said, how we dont have a R18+ rating for games restricting what we can and cant buy in this country is an absolute joke.
