Australian gamers clamoring to get their hands on the upcoming sequel to Valve's zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead 2, were given the harsh news of the game's ban earlier this week. The Australian Classifications Board refused the game, denying it to be sold anywhere in the country.

As you could have probably guessed, this news doesn't sit well with Valve. VP of Marketing, Doug Lombardi, told IGN the company was surprised by the ban

"We were surprised to hear of this news. Obviously, everyone at Valve is disappointed," he said. "It would be a shame if folks in Australia, or anywhere else, are unable to purchase Left 4 Dead 2 because of a ratings issue."

The game was denied classification due to its 'high impact violence' against 'living humans infected with a rabies-like virus.'

EA Australia is currently working through the submission process to see what, if anything can be done. Valve, meanwhile, is still collecting the details as well.

"As for what's next, we don't really know yet," Lombardi added. "We're still getting information back."

people who say the game is too short, its because its a much better game on the PC, take a look at the amount of custom campaigns and survival modes that were added by modders.

It's not banned.. the gore has been edited out of the game. So basically we're stuck with a shitty version of L4D2.
