Well it seems that Left 4 Dead 2′s is not kosher for the Aussies. The content exceeds the allowable rating of MA15+. Any game the goes above this is basically considered banned.

From the offical Austrian report  “The game contains realistic, frenetic, and unrelenting violence which is inflicted upon “the Infected” who are living humans infected with a rabies-like virus that causes them to act violently. The player can choose from a variety of weapons including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and sniper rifles. However, it is the use of the “melee” weapons such as the crowbar, axe, chainsaw and Samurai sword which inflict the most damage. These close-in attacks cause copious amounts of blood spray and splatter, decapitations and limb dismemberment as well as locational damage where contact is made to the enemy which may reveal skeletal bits and gore.” So this basically means Austrialia won’t allow it citizens to play it. This is coming from the country that has insane gun control laws so not surprising.

Probably not the exact game. But you get the point.

David Heiss, a demented gamer is the warcentral.com killer for Advance Wars online gaming forum.  He had been blocked by Matthew Pike and girlfriend Joanna Witton.  Heiss had flown to Nottingham U.K several times for surprise visits, and became acquainted with Matthew and Joanna, who were boyfriend and girlfriend. Heiss had become obsessed with Joanna, during his surprise visits,  so the couple decided to block him from their online game forum. It was at this time  David flew from Germany to the U.K. to kill Matthew Pyke.  David stabbed Pyke 86 times

David was obsessed with Joanna Witton, and was sorry that he had to “blackmail” her in order to talk with her. David never fully omitted what black mail he was speaking of. David also revealed that he had traveled to Nottingham prior to visit Joanna, but did not make contact.

Oh and the clincher. Matthew Pike tried to write the killers name on his computer with his own blood. They say games aren’t dangerous. I’d switch to chess.

Chess is awesome.
