When it comes to banning games, 2009 has been a fairly quiet one down under. Although last year saw games such as Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Dark Sector, F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin, and Fallout 3 refused classification (with several of those eventually making it back into the country after appeals and content changes), 2009 has seen no game raise the ire of the Classification Board. That is, until this week featured confirmation that upcoming PC first-person shooter Necrovision has been effectively banned.
The PC has a lot of indie titles in its enormous library to choose from. Picking a decent game out of the sea of crap is a tough nut to crack. We pick out 10 games worthy of your attention. Best of all, they won’t break the bank.
Necrovision is awesome, especially if you're a fan of the Painkiller series and made with most of the same key members of the first one. Never really considered it 'indie'.
Can't wait to play 'Lost Company.
Still, in a turn of fortune, Farm 51 are making Painkiller Hell and Damnation.
Online video game retailer Amazon has released it's video game download deals of the week.
Nordic Games GmbH has today announced an agreement with The Farm 51, an experienced development studio responsible for the NecroVision series, Time Ace and contributions to Two Worlds II. Furthermore, members of the team at The Farm 51 have previously worked on smash hits such as Painkiller and The Witcher. Nordic Games and The Farm 51 have already begun working on an unannounced title.
Well maybe the dumb A*S pollies like with xxx rated movies make it illegal to buy anywhere in Australia but Canberra.
Do the same for R rated games and we can all visit Canberra give the Government a well deserved middle finger salute and buy our games and head back home over the border.
Win Win for Canberra actually which will get an influx of people visiting and may stay awhile since they came all that way so tourism gets a boost in the arm cause really other than politicians who have to work there who would want to visit. ;)
Or if it's a PS3 game just import it.... oh gota love region free.
The OFLC strike again..
Who cares? Game looks kinda sh*tty in my opinion honestly, and it also looks like a ripoff of Bioshock.
