The OFLC may have refused to classify Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) for release in Australia (i.e. "refused to classify", which basically translates to "effectively banned"), but that doesn't mean all hope's lost.

Atari (the guys distributing Silent Hill in Australia) is hoping that they could get Konami to tone down the violence and gore in their game. Sounds familiar? Yeap, sounds a lot like what Bethesda supposedly did to work around the OFLC refusal for Fallout 3.

So now, Atari's aiming for an eventual release early next year, maybe with an MA+15 reclassification from the OFLC; however, without further confirmation from Konami that they will indeed tweak the game, this issue is kept hanging for now.

The gore makes this game!! they should not have to tweak the game. I think a 17 year old kid handle this, anyone under that age should not be playing the game. its not the developers fault for bad parenting...
