‘Left 4 Dead 2,’ As Censored by the Australian Government
This video serves the dual purpose of being a gameplay demo for the new Left 4 Dead (I’ve only seen a handful of in-game footage thus far) and showing you what it’s like when the government censors video games. Australia recently banned Left 4 Dead 2 because presumably, it was too violent, something that I didn’t even think was possible for a video game these days, especially when the violence is being directed toward zombies instead of say, kittens and children. But they thought the dismembering of the undead was too much for its citizens, so they now have this version of the game.
Now it’s not totally devoid of blood, there are a few drops post-pan whacking, but the mist I thought might be blood is actually just smoke from the gun. It plays the same way I guess, but when a game is all about massacring zombies, you’re losing a lot of the fun factor my making it PG-13. This doesn’t really matter in most games (I could give a shit about blood spray in Halo 3), but here, I think it’s pretty necessary. Don’t you?

they are making this because it is gory, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! you are killing zombies what the hell do you want to come spraying out when they get shot, candy(although that would be nice) and its rated M, that mean MATURE, it says it has blood in the game, if you dont want kids playing it then leave it up to the parents, some places arent even aloud to take the kids game (im 16 and they wouldnt even take my money for L4D, i had to give it to my mom and she had to pay),
