Hmmm... crowbars and blood spatters on the camera. Maybe that's why the OFLC banned Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC)? But look! You can sneak fuel into the generator, along with tons more of new ammo you can scavenge. Check out what am talking about in this new Scavenger gameplay for Valve's controversial game.

It would seem that Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC) just keeps surprising Valve. "I thought Left 4 Dead 2 would get the same treatment as Left 4 Dead 1 (Xbox 360 and PC)," said Gabe Newell. "So I was a little surprised [by the decision]." He would be referring to the recent refusal of Australia's OFLC to classify the zombie sequel. No matter, though, they're out to get that approval, and yes, they have officially appealed the decision.

Here's a bit of semi-good news for Australian gamers. Even with Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC) effectively banned in Australia, Valve is not giving up. They're still in the process of making sure that gamers in the region will get something come the game's supposed launch date.

Electronic Arts has said their piece on the Australian ban of Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC), and now Valve has acted on the action too. Reports have come in that Valve has indeed appealed to the OFLC on the classification - or total absence thereof - of their zombie sequel as of Wednesday.

It seems they've since become much more candid about the issue, however, as they've finally issued a comment.

That image you see above is Australia's OFLC's webpage for Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC). That "RC" Classification you see right there stands for "Refused Classification." That's right, the Left 4 Dead 2 zombies aren't making their way to Australia.

Fallout 3 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC) has only recently been cleared for release in Australia after the whole drugs debacle, but it looks like Bethesda's Pete Hines is still a bit peeved.
