This article talks about the landslide percentage of support for the introduction of the R18+ classification as being a direct result from a ruthless push by EB games. It sums up the status of the games censorship war in Australia, outlining the key stakeholders' arguments on both sides.

There is still no decision from the Attorney-General's department for the introduction of an R18+ rating even after a landslide in the number of supporters for the introduction of the rating. It's getting a bit ridiculous now. The public sphere in Australia will hopefully pull us into line with the rest of the globe...

This is a blog that deals with everything to do with games. This post talks about Australian classification laws applying to international games companies when they choose to allow Refused Classification games into Australia. The question of borders comes to mind when reading this somewhat long and unedited post, but it certainly gets us thinking about the scope of Australia's antiquated classification laws...

The transition from traditional structures of storytelling in games to a more television-based episodic one is brought up in this article. It makes us think whether we should start thinking about games as an art form, and whether we should be classifying them the same as films and introducing an R18+ rating.

Gamers in South Korea have been accused of match fixing. It's interesting to see how "real world" problems have entered cyberspace. It raises questions as to what the scope of internet governance should cover, in this case games governance. Should there be rules to govern this kind of act or should a "name and shame" method be introduced?

With heavy talks about game censorship and the effect of violent games on young minds and so forth, this article outlines a new "positive" wave of video game that could see it as a true art form and sense of expression. It gives rise to new thought about the nature of interactivity in gaming and the existentialist turn that games have taken in their design and thought processes.

This is the Iranian government's answer to US anti-internet censorship groups who aim to undermine the regime's strict filtering rules through funding from the CIA. It brings up questions of international involvement in extreme national governance of the internet.
