NecroVisioN (Review)

May 26, 2009

Zombies, vampires, huge spidery things with rocket launchers attached on various places of their anatomy and one long stream of enemies to mow down with your machine guns. NecroVisioN is a dinosaur, clinging to a lot of the gaming conventions we so viciously decried in our last issue – exploding barrels, switches, big boss monsters with inordinate amounts of health, etc. ...

Necrovision sees the light in Australia (News)

May 22, 2009

Last month, Necrovision received the dubious honour of being the first game in 2009 to be banned by the Australian Classification Board. However, it seems the vampire-infested World War I shooter has joined the likes of Fallout 3, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, and Dark Sector--games that were initially refused classification down under, only to be reclassified after content changes were made.

The game was initially refused classification for excessive violence, but the Classification Board has confirmed to GameSpot AU that Necrovision has now received an M rating after a modified version was submitted for reclassification. According to the Board, the violence in Necrovision has been toned down to the level where it is "moderate in playing impact and justified by context". With no R18+ rating for video games in Australia, any game deemed unsuitable for the MA15+ rating is effectively banned.

UPDATE: Necrovision banned in Australia (News)

Apr 16, 2009

When it comes to banning games, 2009 has been a fairly quiet one down under. Although last year saw games such as Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Dark Sector, F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin, and Fallout 3 refused classification (with several of those eventually making it back into the country after appeals and content changes), 2009 has seen no game raise the ire of the Classification Board. That is, until this week featured confirmation that upcoming PC first-person shooter Necrovision has been effectively banned.

Gameplayer Writes:
It's hard to fall in love with the Classification Board, because no matter how hard you try to like them, they seem to continually insist on providing reasons for gamers to shake their heads. Yesterday we expanded on their recent trend of announcing games, but it was only a matter of time before they returned to their old habit of doing what they do best: dishing out the 'RC' stamp.
