Australia seems to do this a lot from what I can see.

Well, I live practically all the way around the world, so it doesn't really apply, but man, that just kinda sucks. Sorry to hear.

isn't it cool how super-realistic, modern-day warfare and 'sensitive political commentary' can be legalised in COD4 Modern Warfare, which Australia hasn't banned.

yet, when we want to kill a bunch of zombies, in a totally unrealistic apocalypse scenario, it's banned.

lovely.

oh, and the select few big tough yanks who feel obligated to bag out Australia on the interwebnetz just because the topic contains something that's banned in Australia, we were 'founded' by British colonists, and our indigenous peoples have been here for tens of thousands of years. Just remember you idiots came from colonists too. Convicts were BROUGHT here in the 1700s and 1800s. spare us all the convict bullshit hypocrisy just because you can't remember that your own country was once crawling with exiled criminals too.

You know, Mr. Croshaw can always buy the game on steam. It's not like they are shutting down the servers over there!

I don't think "lol, Australia was a penal colony" is as serious business as you're making it sound, but I am going to point out that one of the two locations (out of America and Australia) has everything including nature trying to kill you, and leave it at that.

Hmm... next South Australian state election is next year. its a bit late for Left 4 Dead 2, but if the people of the Croydon electorate vote to get rid of him, maybe the next Attorney-General might be able to see reason, unless there is something in the water, then we're all screwed. (I wouldn't be surprised, tbh. Adelaide water tastes foul).

....Alright, now its personal Mr attorney general. I didn't care much of the other games that were banned, but they go and do it to one of my most anticipated games (5th i think..)

Now lets see, i feel that if Aussie gamers put a petition through showing the vast similarities between l4d1 and l4d2 (in which we kill rabies infected humans in both games, or at least it is what i see from my copy) it just goes to show that the classification board are made up people who have little idea on what they are doing.

Left 4 Dead 2 is a fucking joke anyways.
The games are only what, a year and a half apart?
Idk, I've read up on it and watched all of the videos and was hardly impressed.

there is a way around this

you could just download it?
What about steam or some other legal methods that are also downloading? I'm sure you could hack a PC to think it's in a different country. Stick it to **the-man just not the people who made the game what with the-man already sticking "it" to **Them. Them puts a lot of effort to make these games good and any effort to circumvent the-man is good for Them.
*the-man is whatshisname Atkinson **Them is Valve

That's not what he/she meant I'm thinking. But uh, yeah, can't really remember if I posted here or not. Any way, sorry. I think L4D2 is going to be fun.
