House of the Dead: Overkill game banned in Australia

UPCOMING horror game title The House of the Dead: Overkill – Extended Cut has been refused classification in Australia.

The game was due to be released exclusively through Playstation Move on Playstation 3 on October 27.

Game distributors Sega Australia has appealed the decision with the hope of having the classification ruling overturned without the need to edit the final game.

"There are far worse titles currently available in the marketplace which involve more than shooting down mutants in humorous circumstances,” managing director Darren Macbeth said.



“We will do everything we can to prove that House of the Dead: Overkill is worthy of an MA15+ rating in Australia."
