Unbanned Update: FEAR 2

Earlier this year Fear 2 was banned in Australia, it has now been unbanned without any changes.....wait?....WITHOUT changes?..hmmm, strange.

In other news, GTAIV PC version is out here now as well. It made it in unscathed even though they left in the content that was cut from the console versions.....wait......It's completely uncut?....WHAT THE FUDGE!!??

So, obviously im confused.

I am so sick and tired of this country's double standard rating system. Why is it that one game can come into the country and recieve an MA rating because it has limb removal and head decapitation and never have any trouble getting said rating (Dead Space), yet another game with the exact same depictions of violence has to struggle just to get that same rating? (FEAR 2). Someone in the ratings board needs to take a cold hard look at this system in the mirror (apparently this helps somehow), and give it an update, cause its just ridiculous.

STILL BANNED-UPDATE: Silent Hill Homecoming

SHOULD BE BANNED BUT GETS THROUGH THE RATINGS SYSTEM WITH NO PROBLEMS-UPDATE: Anything Barbie related

COD4 Part Deux

So its been announced that Call of Duty 6 will actually be called Call of Duty 4 Part 2: Modern Warfare 2. I'm all for a return to Modern Day for these games, WW2 Shooters pretty much ended with the first Call of Duty. This name is pretty rediculous though, whats wrong with COD6? Would people not understand that title?.

How Embarrassing

Yes its here people, the moment you've all been dreading with anticipation. My very first video blog. (note: this is 2 weeks old)

Ok...

I was going to update my blog this week with my first video blog, it's been made and edited and it's all ready to go...but...My up and download speeds have been capped for the month again, so i will have to wait till the beginning of next month to get it up here, so until then......um......cya....

Where are my manners?

No seriously, cause i forgot to do my weekly blog yesterday. Probably cause i dont have much to say besides "LITTLE BIG PLANET IS FUCKIN AWESOME!". If you don't have a PS3, shame on you, if you do then you owe it to yourself to own this game. I've always thought it would be great to have a game where you could make your own levels, and here it is, even better than i could have imagined. From the art style to the physics to the collecting, its just amazingly in depth and not at all shallow, it will last you a long time because there is no ending, it's simply astonishing the amount of freedom it gives your creative mind.
I've had the game for 5 days now and i'm STILL working on my first level, i don't know if its because i'm really specific about everything or if its just too much fun playing around with all the tools and ideas, it can't be anything else because its all very easy to use and manoeuvre....have i said this game is AMAZING!?
So it's a 6 out of 5 from me, there are some issues with actually controlling the cute little main character (known as Sackboy for his resemblance to a hackey sack) in the levels because of the depth of view and the 3 different planes you control him on, but this is in no way a deal breaker.
If you have a PS3 and are a creative person you should really give this game a go, dont be put off by the pink girly cover (thats just to entice the pink loving girls, and thats not meant as a double entendre). BUY IT NOW!

Next Week: Guitar Hero World Tour, will i have the ability to pry myself away for another blog?

Censorship

Ok, so i made this blog because im interested in all kinds of entertainment like Film and Videogames and Porn (Porn is something i'll generally not talk about on this blog, i just thought i'd fill you in, since we're sharing).
A lot of my free time is taken up by playing games, i love games, i love the fact that you can do anything you want: Steal cars, be a Guitar Hero, and shoot dudes. The shooting dudes part is great fun, you can escape to another place and blow shit up and shoot dudes in the face and no one gets hurt. Which leads me to my point (yes i do have one).
I live in Australia, which apparently is a "free" country, yet the Government is stopping us from getting games the way they are sold in other countries. We do not have an R rating for games like we do for films, which means that any game deemed too strong for the next rating down, an MA 15+, is immediately banned and therefore the publisher is required to tone down the game for our poor little country or never have it released here.
Now the government wants to start censoring the internet (good luck with that one fellas), and universities are wanting to censor laptops. This is the most insane, stupid, ridiculous, irritating, annoying, fucked up thing that has happened to this country.
Of all the countries to be most prudish who would have thought it would be the one that was started by thieves and rapists, does this make sense to anyone?.
The people of the world have the right to free speech and free choice, we are all human beings who should all live as equals, who is the government to tell people what they can and can't, say, watch or play when they themselves are able to do whatever the hell THEY want?.
This isn't right and we as people need to make this issue known and we need to be heard, we are all free people and we should be able to make our own choices. You and I need to do this and soon before its too late and they censor everything on the planet. I don't know about you but i don't wanna wake up one morning and find that Spongebob Squarepants has to now be coloured white so that the asians don't get offended: A white sponge? IT'S MADNESS!.

The Original, The Best (possibly)

"Why am i here?", thats what your asking yourself. I know this because i like to tell people what to think, it's a curse really, but with great idiots (you) come even greater assholes (me).
I'm not sure if any of that intro made sense at all, but if it did then WOOH! for me, i CAN write! (except for the overuse of commas and exclamation points and the apparent misspelling of the term "Whoo!").
"Where are you going with this?" im telling you to ask me now, well the answer is....no-where really. I just thought i'd give my first blog a whirl and see if anyone even bothers to look.
"So the point now?" i KNOW your asking this one, i dont even have to tell you to say that, our relationship is so strong now that we understand how we work together so well. THE POINT! my new found friend, is coming....
