BREAKING NEWS:

Silent Hill: Homecoming has been refused classification in Australia after it was deemed too violent for the maximum MA15 rating available for games.

It is the fourth gamed banned by the ratings board this year.

According to GameSpot:

An Atari spokesman (Atari is the local distributor for Konami games) confirmed the game banning to GameSpot AU, saying that Australia's Classification Board found issue with the high impact of Silent Hill's violence. Examples used by the board in its report include copious blood spray in the game, decapitations, partially dismembered corpses, and numerous scenes of attacks, fights, torture, and death.


Silent Hill is one of the leading franchises in the survival horror genre.

Stay tuned for more information as it comes to hand.

I foresee a future in which gamers start buying their consoles from overseas, importing contraband despite taking an illegal risk, and damaging the sales of game systems in this country. I seriously wouldn't expect customs to pay a great deal of attention to a single video game crossing our borders, and if people want their simulated drugs and violence, damnit, they'll probably take the risk of importation.
