The Australian Classification Board has refused to grant a rating to F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin. Come on now. Tell me you didn’t see this one coming.
Project Origin is the fifth game effectively banned from Australia in 2008. While Fallout 3 and Dark Sector modified and resubmitted to eventually win approval, renegades Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, and Silent Hill: Homecoming are still MIA Down Under.
I think “Banned in Australia” could eventually become a recommendation for survival horror titles. I really can’t imagine Project Origin neutered enough to be given a rating in AU would be much fun no matter what the specific complaints against it are. Check out Games On Net for the official announcement.
