The Australian censor board have refused another major title any kind of classification, this time slapping the banhammer (:hammer:) on MMO Crimecraft.
This should once again provoke a flurry of discussion about the truly baffling ratings system in Australia, where there is no '18+' equivalent rating, which recently forced Valve to make crippling changes to zombie apocalypse sequel Left 4 Dead 2 in order to allow the game to even be released.
However, the reaction is likely to be less furious this time, mainly because Crimecraft is widely regarded to be a bit crap. Still, how many more games need to be banned before someone in the Aussie government sees sense?
