Australia's tough classification regime for games has struck again, although this time the victim isn't as high profile as last year's big name casualties (such as Fallout 3 or F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin). Sexy Poker--an upcoming WiiWare title developed by Gameloft--has been refused classification by the Board, effectively banning the strip poker game from sale down under.
As its title implies, Sexy Poker pits a player against six different female opponents who wear stereotypical costumes such as nurses outfits, sports uniforms, police clothing, and business wear. According to the Board, the game was refused classification because nudity was used as an incentive--in this case, winning a game of poker.

Well don't worry, brethren – VideoGameTV has a bike pump. A bike pump filled to the nozzle with killer software. To maintain the pretence of considered judgement, we've jotted down some pros and cons for each title on the list."
I was going to include the COD4 remake on this but it doesn't look too hot... anybody want to disagree?
Truth be told I haven't run into Boy and his Blob...
Ta for the feedback, always nice to get a conversation going.
...has some great titles but they should stick to exclusives and keep away from the multiplatform releases. Just look at how dated COD4 looks on the Wii. Graphics may not matter but once you have experienced a game like COD4 on a better system its hard to go back.
It's at this point the pretence of being a game falters entirely, as you can view each 'unlocked' woman in the gallery, saving you the bother of even playing it at all. However much you win at Sexy Poker, you'll only ever feel like a loser.
That's retarded. I'm glad I don't live in Australia, not that I would buy this game anyway.
Oh ya. I can't wait for the wii lap dance attachment...
