Computer game Reservoir Dogs has been effectively banned in Australia after the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) refused to give the title an MA 15+ rating.
Originally due out next month, the game is based on the Quentin Tarantino cult classic, and the OFLC said the decision was made on the basis that the game contained "frequent depictions of violence that have a high impact".
Blitz Games and Volatile Games poured their hearts into making Reservoir Dogs the game in 2006, and it's actually kind of a strange (and bloody) story.
Lots of interesting info in this article.I played Reservoir Dogs when it first came out, it was flawed but had some really good levels and shootouts. Like a good B action movie video game.
It wasn't a great game by any means but the writing and voice acting was surprisingly very good at the time. I got it as a rental and honestly enjoyed it quite a bit.
Big Star Games teams up with Lionsgate to take another swing at a Reservoir Dogs game. Find all the details here.
