i don't see whats so bad about the game that they have to ban it.

drug use big deal.i go for a walk on my street and i smell pot coming from peoples windows and yards.How come the movie ted isnt banned here or half baked isnt banned???

the anal probe thing isnt nice but im sure they have them or something similar in many alien movies that are rated MA15+.

@killerbug the australian government dont actually seem very concerned with piracy at least not compared to usa and uk.
