The Australian "edited" version that is.

And I can tell you that it's scary and terrifying ... that is to say what they excluded to make it "acceptable" in means to allow it to be played by us Aussies ....

Apparently the OFLC (Office of Film and Literature Classification) saw fit to remove any means of ultra-violent details "decapitation, dismemberment, wound detail or piles of dead bodies" And why the F#@( would they only do this now on a sequel to a game that featured the same stuff nearly 2 years back ?!

Heck, back when I was around 11 years of age I managed to get my hands on a game called Carmageddon where you'd be driving around smashing into other racers, and running over, not zombies ... BUT actual pedestrians and civilians that populated the streets. Far I see, there's nothing really of harm that comes of this kind of game that is L4D 2, as it would only make someone a bit aware of how to deal with a probable zombie apocalypse. Where as a game like MANHUNT would have a more likely chance to show a kid how to stalk and perform a vicious murder on a victim from the shadows.

But from what I see someone in the OFLC has some sort of "beef" with this game, as it's just weird that so many games that have had far worse content involved manage to make it onto our shores that only now they've decided to deny a game like this. And what really is going to annoy me later is that this will probably just be the beginning to what they'll do with future upcoming game releases that come to Australia.

Well I figured I'd be making a rant about something sooner or later. But I figure this was worth the journal time.
