I hadnt even heard of this one before now ??
Dark Sector is banned in Australia due to 'high impact violence'
Reports denote that Digital Extreme's sci-fi themed shooter has been refused a classification in Australia due to high impact violence. The OFLC hasstated that the game contains violence that is high in impact and is therefore unsuitable for persons aged under 18 years to play. They seem to be unahppy at how easy it is to pull of moves that result in blood spraying all over the place.

UPDATE: The OFLC has sent through its Official ruling to GameSpot AU, which says that Dark Sector "contains violence that is high in impact and is therefore unsuitable for persons aged under 18 years to play".
"The finishing moves and most violent game play includes decapitation, dismemberment of limbs accompanied by large blood spurts, neck breaking spurts, neck breaking twists and exploded bodies with post-action twitching body parts. These moves are relatively easy to accomplish and once the player has mastered the moves and is able to get close to his foes, these violent moves can be executed," the OFLC's ruling said.
"Successfully shooting an opponent results in the depiction of blood spray. When Hayden cuts off his opponent's limb with the glaive, large amounts of blood spray forth from the stump and the injured person screams in agony which increases the impact."
