Well it’s now pretty much a done deal. Eight out of nine states has agreed to the R18+ rating, with NSW looking likely to follow soon. And even if NSW doesn’t consent, an adult rating for video games is going through with or without them – before the end of the year claims Brendan O’Connor. Below we’ve created a brief round-up of R18+ news for those that want to catch up.

Valve said if we got an R-18+ rating, they would re-release L4D2 here in Australia. :y: (From what I heard)

That's pretty much what their doing, only some MA games will remain. It is focused on the COD series as said above, but i bet complaints will make them change.

Games like Cod being R is bs, games like God of War yes, but a shooter that isn't even realistic being 18+? Yea piss off government...

I don't like how they blame violence on video games, when it's just general idiots setting a bad example.
