Denied Down Under: Dark Sector Banned In Australia Due To Excessive Violence

According to a recent report by IGN, the third person action game, Dark Sector, being published by D3 Publisher (who was nice enough to invite us to their GDC party) has been “refused classification” by the AGRB (Australian Game Ratings Board) due to the game’s excessive violent content.

The good news for Australian gamers is that the article closes by saying that the publisher will most likely make changes to the title and resubmit to the board. So much for those “no rules, just right” Outback Restaurant Commercials.
