While You Were Sleeping

TGIF, Kotakuers. Thank God It’s Freezing on the other side of the planet and not here. That should probably be a longer acronym… Those suckers on the opposite side of this globe have been cranking the wheel on our magical news machine all night, and here’s what they’ve come up with.

Now that Australia’s R18+ rating is in effect, fans of Left 4 Dead 2 have asked on the Valve forums if the game would once again attempt to be reclassified. The short answer is, they’re considering it.

There are some screenshots out for the new Suda51 game, and they’re looking typically insane, and quite interesting.

The ESRB in the US is one of the more reliable classification systems, yet a US senator has introduced a bill to turn their role, and the enforcement of the classifications, into a government activity.

Whatever the new Xbox is, it’s going to be using Skype for its player-to-player chat. The specific term was “default chat service”, suggesting you can opt for a different one.

Apple has explained its policy on dealing with controversial apps. According to its quote, it doesn’t believe it’s the place of games or apps to provide social or political commentary. Let alone “describe sex”.
