Makes me glad I live in the USA. I can play any game I want. Least the PS3 games are region free.

In response to

"Yes, the OFLC has made the right decision. There's enough immorality, specifically in Australia, as it is. Think of the children...."

Firstly fuck you, secondly I did think of the children, which is why I bought Fallout 3. I was hoping to brutally murder them for fun :)

i cant believe they let a game like haze in which you kill people so your drug meter goes up then you inject yourself with drugs so that you can become a super soldier and kill more people to get mroe drugs then after missions you start to come down and spin out and all that its just plain stupidity. whereas if he is using morphene to stop him taking damage who really cares

Wow chill, not like the rating would really matter that much. You get to buy a copy regardles, I used to have a copy of Playboy masion computer game, not sure how old I was when I got a hold of that, but I am sure I wasn't 18. Haven't seen anyone asked for proof of age so far.

But that rating is truly a bit harsh on Fallout 3.

In GTA the fictional police force will stop chasing you if you hide good enough after you club some pedestrian on the head, mug him then murdering a street full of people and law enforcement.

On top of that, hollywood movies also wrongly protrait police as inefficient donut-eaters and glorify drinking and drug use even further but they are allowed, strange indeed.

Plus alchohol would be killing more than morphine, morphine is not something you can get from a corner store. Go to brisbane CBD on weekend nights and you will see how many idiots die or get injured from drinking too much. Those troublemakers are simply drunk, not on morphine.

First of all i am extremely disappointed at the inconsiderate decision the South Australian Attorney General, Michael Atkinson Has made. He should be focusing his power in pulling the 7 ft pole out of his well penetrated South Australian Inbred arse. No offence to any prospective South Australian Fallout 3 players. Also how could such a simple drug, such as Morphine, be so influencial that it must be banned from the game, hey why dont we just ban morphine from Hospitals? You stupid Jackass!!!. Personally i think the Australian, American, Korean, Chinese an Russian Armies should deploy all of their military power into completely obliterating the State of shitty South Australia, and maybe Tasmania…. Then New Zealand, fucking Kiwi”s.

I think Michael Atkinson should pull that 7 meter pole out of his arse and do something about his inbreeding shit hole of a State, instead of banning games with "morphine" in them.No offence to any south Australians.They should bann hospitals, they have morphine in them. Seriously what retard would actually be so involved in a game to take morphine bacause they character is!!!!! Are Your Fuckin Retarded!!!!!!
R 18+ should introduced in Australia, i've had enough of this censorship crap!! I just want the army to bomb South Australia, and maybe Tasmania aswell.

It is really disappointing to see this judgment. As with one of the previous comments, I am 37 an have been waiting 10 years for this, just for some ‘Politically Correct’ morons to come an edit it for me because I and thousands of others are apparently too stupid to distinguish between fantasy and reality. I have a 10 year old son who knows more about sex and drugs than I did at 18 and he sure as shit didn’t learn it from computer games. These ppl really need to come out of the fantasy land they live in, get in the real world and accept that these days a 12 year old would probably know more about sex and drugs than they do. We seems to be one of the most over governed countries in the world. Looks like I’ll be importing. I’ll just have to ask my son how I go about it!

I may be mistaken, but didn't Metal Gear Solid, and Metal Gear: Snake Eater, include Dimazepan in the game. Taking it helped calm your nerves when you were sniping at people, but taking too much of it resulted in you becoming addicted to it.

Please don't misunderstand, I loved these games, but this was a case of a game, involving drug use with a clear effect and end result of addiction, and it was still allowed classification.

So, unless I missed something with the facts I mentioned, what's changed in the space of time since they were classified, and Fallout 3?
