To say that PAL regions like Australia receive their games later than the rest of the world is a passé understatement. Now, from the land down under, comes this roundtable discussion on violent games being banned due to the lack of a video game rating system:
I don't know which is more upsetting, that they're linking these games to violent crimes and "snuff films" or that members of the panel still don't seem to know what a "Wii" is. I thought the whole world got over that grade-school joke a year-and-a-half ago.
Thanks to GoNintendo for bringing this moment of political insanity to our attention.
