    Australia could have R18+ by end of year

    "We can't continue to have an outdated arrangement, which doesn't reflect technological changes, just like we can't continue to deny the rights of adults. We simply can't continue to justify the current arrangement." - so says Federal Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor in this interview at GameSpot AU.

    Robber tunnels into GameStop

    It's not unusual to hear about a criminal incident involving a GameStop store, but it's certainly unusual hearing about a criminal tunneling into one to claim his phat loot. Steven Paul Archer of Chuckey, Tennessee has been charged with felony burglary, after allegedly breaking into a vacant store adjacent to the GameStop in question, and then tunnelling through the wall, making away with $US288.55 in cash and $US5342 in merchandise. A for effort!

    Government study concludes violent games do not affect children

    Following Kate Lundy's speech to the senate a week ago, there is more positive news for an R18+ rating being introduced for video games in Australia. Yesterday, the Minister for Home Affairs, Brendan O' Connor, released a statement explaining that a review of existing research has found that "there is no conclusive evidence that violent computer games have a greater impact on players than other violent media, such as movies or music videos."...

    Senator Kate Lundy delivers R18+ adjournment speech

    The Australian R18+ classification debate has been a long, and somewhat hostile one. With Michael Atkinson no longer in his South Australian Attorneys-General seat, and the next meeting of the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General just a fortnight away, Senator Kate Lundy has spoken to the Senate regarding the need for such classification....

    The fortnight wrap-up, ours and yours

    I've neglected the news page entirely for the last fortnight, as I've been touring Europe - Munich, Brussels and Bamberg thus far - with more of an interest in the local beer than trying to write news articles while drunk. And unfortunately for the regular readers here, I don't get back until the end of the September! In an effort to hold you over, here is a summary of the bigger games news that has jumped out at me during the last couple of weeks...

  • Mass Effect 3 review
    by cmdr_lynchie
    The first two instalments of the Mass Effect series are widely considered to be some of the best games ever made. Certainly they rank among the greatest RPGs. With the outstanding quality of their story telling, and their stunning audio and visuals, they set the bar so high for the third instalment that some began to wonder if disappointment was inevitable. Thankfully the doubters have been proven wrong, as with Mass Effect 3 Bioware has not only cleared the bar, but they raised it several not...
