A pretty standard week in the world of Australian ratings for games – only a couple of MA15+ ratings, and a few happy reminders that certain games are actually coming, like Tron: Evolution.
Looks like Red Dead got its MA15+ rating just in time, seeing as it was released last week. The Fight is due mid October, and despite being all about beating a man’s face into goo, gets through with an M.
We award no points whatsoever for guessing what “A Fairy Tale” contains, and I’m always amazed at the imagination of some of these names. Take “Chronicles of Mystery: The Secret Tree of Life” for example, with words so interchangeable they could’ve been drawn out of a hat.
Chronicles of Trees: The Secret Life of Mystery
Mystery of Secrets: The Chronicles of Tree Life
Amiright gais?
Anyway, here’s what’s been classified in the last week.
The Fight (Coldwood) M
Red Dead Redemption: Liars and Cheats (Rockstar San Diego) MA15+
Exed Exes (Capcom) PG

Monday, September 27, 2010 at 11:11 AMwait… i though Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit was already classified a few weeks ago, they must have added something.

Monday, September 27, 2010 at 1:22 PMMy guess would be one of the titles is a portable version or something.
One that only shares the same name but ultimately is a completely different game.

Monday, September 27, 2010 at 12:11 PMClearly Michael Jackson: The Experience isn’t actually providing the full Michael Jackson experience if it’s got a G rating :P

Monday, September 27, 2010 at 1:58 PMMaybe it’s the current Michael Jackson experience… you know, what with being dead and all.

Monday, September 27, 2010 at 2:02 PMYou’re thinking of Plants vs Zombies :P

Monday, September 27, 2010 at 3:00 PMNo… that charector got removed, something about a lawsuit.
Hey Jung, where’s Talk Amongst gone?

Monday, September 27, 2010 at 3:00 PMOr Dead Rising 2. Michael Jackson + drill bucket = win.

Isn’t the idea here to run away from Police? Surely that warrants a PG rating =P
