No Silent Hill: Homecoming For Aus

Refused classification by Australia's Classification Board.

Silent Hill: Homecoming, the latest installment in Konami's long-running survival horror series, has been refused classification by the Australian Classification Board.

Citing “excessive violence,” the Board's decision effectively prevents the game from being sold in Australia due to the country's lack of an R18+ age rating for games.

Bethesda Softwork's Fallout 3 was recently scrutinised by the Board, forcing developers to make changes to the game's drug-related content in order for it to be released with an MA15+ rating.
