Legislation creating an R18+ rating has just passed the Australian Federal Parliament. After years of heated debate, video games will be rated on a scale similar to films. In the past, many games have been censored or banned altogether because they could not meet the lower ratings in their current state; this should bring an end to that practice.
If all goes to plan, the rating will be implemented on January 1st of next year.
