Thanks for the info Luciel but I think you're missing the point.

I was thinking about spaming the people responsible for the essential ban. But I'm above that. And besides I don't think they would get the message.

Maybe if the four or so people who've seen this thread band together and womp them with oversized wiffle bats they would give the damn game a rating and let it be resleased.

Just maybe...

What? Half-Life 2 not in Australia? Where'd you get that info...

If it's true I've gone from spam to letter-bombs... lol

Just kidding.

"The Pan European Games Information (PEGI) age rating system has given Half Life 2 an R(18+) rating.This means that minors are unable to purchase the game in numerous countries like Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the UK. What's really interesting about this is how the game fairs in Australia. The Australian Office of Film & Literature Classification (OFLC) has yet to classify Half Life 2, but if the board follows suit from their European counterparts, it'll mean that one of this years highly anticipated titles is banned outright from sales here. Currently, Australia has no R rating for games, so game titles need to meet the highest rating (MA 15+) or they will be refused classification."
