Left 4 Dead 2 Refused Classification In Australia

Bollocks, Left 4 Dead 2's been refused classification in Australia as you can see here on the official ratings board website. Here's the official descriptive text:

“The game contains realistic, frenetic and unrelenting violence which is inflicted upon “the Infected” who are living humans infected with a rabies-like virus that causes them to act violently” The ruling goes on to say that “However, it is the use of the “melee” weapons such as the crowbar, axe, chainsaw and Samurai sword which inflict the most damage. These close in attacks cause copious amounts of blood spray and splatter, decapitations and limb dismemberment as well as locational damage where contact is made to the enemy which may reveal skeletal bits and gore.”

Man they really need an 18 license over there.
