    Games On Net has released information from the Board's report on Silent Hill: Homecoming, explaining why the game has been refused classification. Please be aware that the following information may contain spoilers for the game.According the report, the game has been refused classification due to several scenes of violence and gore, including decapitations, blood sprays, dismembered corpses and several scenes involving drills, including one where

    "an electric drill is explicitly forced through Alex's right eye socket, remaining there for an extended period as Alex screams and blood sprays from the wound."

    There is also a scene where

    Quote

    "Alex encounters a creature with a human body shape and a long, barbed, spade-shaped head. Using his head as a weapon, the creature explicitly bisects Alex, the two parts of the body lying separately on the ground, with copious blood spray."

    All of this basically boils down to the conclusion that, "the Board considers that the cumulative effect of this type of violence is high and as such cannot be accommodated at the MA 15+ classification.

    Shipping tomorrow and then the big release is on Wednesday, from spoilers I've seen of the finished game fans and gamers alike are not going to be disappointed!

    ...we hope.

    I'll wait for yahtzee

    Yahtzee is a wonderful entertainer, but he's a pretty terrible reviewer.

    He's not going to like this anyway, he's already made a reference to not liking the current development team.

    each to his own. i'm not saying i follow his advice through and through, but he does have some good points. different people like different things, and in your review of the reviewer, you too are biased.

    That was my general sarcasm. I just like to see him rip the piss. But at the same time he brings up completely valid points that I agree with on all the games I've played that he's mocked.

    The outcome of the review is already known - he only reviews stuff he hates or finds mediocre. I would hardly classify it as serious critique of whatever the subject is, shit's just supposed to be funny.

    either you're just not listening to what he's saying, but he has recommended games before, so your argument isn't really valid.

    Right, his main goal is to inform the general gaming public of games he likes, not rip on lesser ones and be a clever dick while he's at it.

    Let's over think this some more why don't we.

    It has nothing to do with my opinion. There’s no denying he often misconstrues facts for sake of entertainment and that this jeopardises a reviews integrity.

    I watch the show each week and it’s entertaining, I just get worried about people taking it as gospel.

    Edit: In retrospect "terrible" isn't the word I should've used.
