Censor Watch

While our censors aren’t yet tasked with the responsibility of rating mobile games and apps, they’ve been kept plenty busy this week checking out the likes of Medal of Honor, World of WarCraft: Cataclysm and even SAW II.

None of which were banned, thankfully.

The most notable entry is for Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth, an as-yet-unannounced title based on the UK sci-fi series. Most likely it’s the third episode of the Doctor Who adventures games from Sumo Digital and Broken Sword creator Charles Cecil. But the company who submitted the game for classification, Asylum, is not one I’ve heard of. Curious.

Also unannounced is Pinball FX 2. But, given who submitted it, it looks like we can expect some more pinball action on Xbox Live Arcade fairly soon.

Elsewhere, the presence of Ilomilo, a gorgeous-looking platformer destined for Xbox Live Arcade, suggests it may well be with us sooner than anticipated. I can’t wait.
