According to Gamer Chip, a modified version of Fallout 3 will be hitting in Australia later this year. This news comes after OFLC refused the classification of the game, which made it seem very doubtable it would ever see the light of in the day down under. There’s still no official word from Bethesda Games, but in the article Gamer Chip did say something about retailers EB Games now accepting pre-orders for the title. They go on to state some more information about the game saying in their article that “EB Games and GAME representatives, Australia will be receiving the game, albeit in a modified format.”

We have some good news and some bad news, the good news is there’s no bad news. According to a report made by PALGN , the OFLC has re-classified Dark Sector and it looks like the game will be hitting stores in australia very soon. The game will be coming in a new version, this upcoming version will feature no decapitation and "toned down … limb severing on humans [only]", which according to the OFLC classification database was still strong enough to earn an MA15+ and a warning against ‘Strong Violence’.

So, maybe there was a little bad news after all………….

The game was originally considered by the OFLC to be too strong for our shores, as a "violent and sometimes gruesome game with a sinister storyline and ominous outcome. The violence and aggression inflicted upon the protagonist is of a high level, naturalistic and not stylised at all."

Discuss: Do you think Dark Sector deserved a MA15+ rating in the first place.
