Australia could get 18+ game rating Australia could be set to update its age rating system for games, adding a new 18+ category. As it stands, the highest rating a game can receive is 15+, which has in the past led to extremely violent games not receiving a rating and therefore not being able to go on sale. A vote is set to go ahead in the Australian government with ex-federal minister for home affairs Brendan O’Connor taking responsibility for the bill. As Games Industry (requires free sign up) points out, Mr O’Connor has been pushing for a change to the law for some time. The country’s first parliamentary session of the new year will be occurring on 7th February (jesus, do they have a long enough break?), where the proposed bill will be debated. If it passes in the lower parliament it will then be taken for a final decision at the Senate. However, it’s likely that it will be railroaded through both segments of government as it has been approved by state governments already and a Senate majority. While major contributors in the senate are still being quite private about their thoughts on the matter, general consensus among minor parties suggests that it will get through, meaning Australian’s can rejoin the rest of the world enjoying the most violent and graphic games available. Games that haven’t been sold in the country include: Leisure Suit Larry: Magma Cum Laude, Phantasmagoria, the original version of Left 4 Dead 2 and the original version of 50 cent bulletproof.

D'fhéadfadh an Astráil a fháil 18 rátála cluiche + D'fhéadfaí an Astráil a shocrú suas chun dáta ar a chóras rátála aoise le haghaidh cluichí, ag cur nua 18 + chatagóir seo. Mar a sheasann sé, tá an rátáil is airde is féidir cluiche a fháil 15 +, a bhfuil san am atá caite mar thoradh ar cluichí thar a bheith foréigneach nach bhfuil ag fáil a rátála agus dá bhrí sin ní a bheith in ann dul ar díol. Tá vóta a leagtar chun dul ar aghaidh sa rialtas na hAstráile leis an sean-Aire Cónaidhme gnóthaí baile Brendan O'Connor ag glacadh freagrachta as an bhille. Mar Cluichí Tionscal (Éilíonn comhartha saor in aisce suas) pointí amach, tá an tUasal O'Connor ag brú ar son athrú ar an dlí ar feadh tamaill. Beidh an tír seisiún parlaiminte den bhliain nua ag tarlú ar an 7ú Feabhra (jesus, an bhfuil siad go mbeadh sos fada go leor?), Áit a mbeidh an bille atá beartaithe a phlé. Má éiríonn sé i pharlaimint níos ísle a bheidh sé a ghlacadh ansin le haghaidh cinneadh deiridh ag an Seanad. Mar sin féin, tá sé dóchúil go mbeidh sé railroaded tríd an dá codanna de rialtas mar go mbeidh sé formheasta ag rialtais stáit cheana féin agus tromlach Seanad. Cé go bhfuil rannpháirtithe móra sa Seanad a bheith fós go leor príobháideach faoi a gcuid smaointe ar an ábhar, tugann comhaontú ginearálta i measc páirtithe beag go mbeidh sé a fháil tríd, a chiallaíonn gur féidir na hAstráile aontú athuair leis an gcuid eile den domhan taitneamh a bhaint as na cluichí is foréigneach agus grafacha atá ar fáil. I measc Cluichí nár dhíol sa tír: Suit Larry Fóillíochta: Magma cum Laude, Phantasmagoria, an leagan bunaidh de Left 4 Dead 2 agus an leagan bunaidh de 50 cent bulletproof.
