We all expected F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin to be shocking - as the sequel to one of the more terrifying games of the past five years it had a lot to live up to. That said, we didn't really expect the shock to come from the Australian Classification Board, which has considered the game to be unsuitable for Australian gamers, refusing it classification in this country.
While we have a copy of the RC statement, we're currently waiting to hear back from the Board about the details behind their decisions - as well as comments from publishers Warner Bros about what their plans are now. Did Alma get a little too bloodthirsty for Australian audiences?

When it comes to the Australian introduction of a restricted R18+ rating for video games, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

At the time, Michael Atkinson, the South Australian Attorney-General, had gone on record as strongly objecting to any change in legislation, but he - and the other censorship ministers - had agreed "in principle" to gathering public opinion on the proposed new classification. This week, however, Mr. Atkinson has now effectively halted the process, indefinitely delaying any changes to the legislation.
