Alien vs. Predator banning reversed

SEGA Australia today confirmed that the Classification Review Board has overturned the original decision to Refuse Classification for Aliens vs Predator and has given it an MA15+ rating.

“It is with great pleasure that we announce the success of our appeal. We are particularly proud that the game will be released in its original entirety, with no content altered or removed whatsoever. This is a big win for Australian gamers. We applaud the Classification Review Board on making a decision that clearly considers the context of the game, and is in line with the modern expectations of reasonable Australians”, Darren Macbeth, Managing Director, SEGA Australia.

The game was originally refused classification earlier this month. This reversal comes in the wake of a public discussion paper regarding a R18+ rating for games in Australia that was released a few days ago.

I sure as hell hope so. I think i can smell it too, there has been a big movement in the last few months about it and theres the submission papers or whatever they are (i have no link for it sorry). If we get it anytime, im putting my money on mid-late 2010
