Left 4 Dead 3? - Image 1It's barely been a week since the hotly-contested, highly-anticipated sequel to Valve Corporation's zombie-survival game, Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC), has been released, and already, we're hearing talks of a sequel to the sequel. Are we going to hear of another round of boycotts, then?

Left 4 Dead 2 - Image 1Hmmm... 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.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Image 1It 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.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Image 1 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.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Image 1Electronic 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.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Image 1 Valve's Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC) is just the latest casualty of the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification's stringent -- and, for most Australian gamers, draconic -- adherence to their ratings guidelines. Publisher EA Australia said last week that they're "still working through the submission process with OFLC." It seems they've since become much more candid about the issue, however, as they've finally issued a comment.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Image 1That 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.

Censorship - Image 1Fallout 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. According to the Fallout 3 product manager, censorship laws that differ from country to country are "frustrating". More from Hines in the full article.
