Video Game Nasties
Fallout 3
Bethesda Software’s gritty tale of life after a nuclear war, Fallout 3 was at first refused a classification by Australian censors. The board’s problem with the game wasn’t its bloodthirsty violence or gore. No, it was the ‘visual representation’ of in-game drug use.
The developers were accused of portraying drugs in Fallout 3’ s world far too realistically; featuring cut scenes that show a variety of druggie paraphernalia – syringes, pills and whatnot. In particular, the game references morphine, which the player can use to increase their tolerance to pain. The Australian government however, wanted ALL references to morphine taken out, fearful that Antipodean society as we know it would collapse overnight.
After receiving the thumb’s down from down under, Bethesda went back to the drawing board. A revised version of the game was released worldwide, minus the offending drug scenes.

RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 review
Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4 / XB1 / PC) Games don’t come much
It is definetly becoming a huge problem with the young generation today as so many kids are getting so addictive to these so called games..
I’m a parent with a 12 year old son who has been to many people’s houses to go play the x box .. Manly on this cod game or black ops ..
He then suffers at night with nightmares.. We have had a meeting at the school earlier this week as his school work has been suffering and with their help we are going to try and focus him in other activities. As I’m so worried he is addicted himself judging by his behaviour of late..
The games are disgraceful in my mind and I feel it will only get worse..
