The Australian Family Council wants the OFLC to ban upcoming survival horror game, Rule of Rose. Why? Well...
The "perverse" Sony Playstation's Rule of Rose features sadomasochism, torture and under-age eroticism.
Sony made it for its Japanese market and has distanced itself from the international release by a third party. The game is due to be released in Australia in February.Websites already offer pre-orders for the game, about sadistic orphans who kidnap a girl and keep her captive.
Because that's exactly the sort of game a parent would buy for their kids.
What's actually in this game and whats claimed to be in this game are actually rather different. its not erotic by any means, but of course, even though its possible to have some underlying tones, thats what the GODDAMN RATING SYSTEM IS FOR. argh! if they arent going to use the rating system, and just ban games outright, why the fudge implement it at all!!?
No Peddy, games a for kids - Didn't you know that?

There's simply no class in video games is there. Why would a large multi national corporation even consider this as a project. How pathetic.
Should be the same as film, same standards and it is, like you would be hard strung to release a film with such content, and the office of literature will classify it accordingly
