[SOF3] SOF Payback BANNED in AUS 
Friday, 19 October, 2007, 09:28 - Soldier of Fortune
The Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification - link - has given the upcoming Soldier of Fortune Payback a 'Refused Classification' (RC) rating. Apparently there is no official R18+ rating for games in Australia so anything that would normally fit into this catagory is simply banned.

This isn't just a rumor, it's listed in the above site on their database.


Soldeir of Fortune Payback official site
http://mercenarieswanted.com


Here are a couple of articles regarding the ban:
• http://1up.com/do/newsStory/sofp-ban
• http://news.com.au/story/sofp-ban



All this really does is reduce sales to game selling businesses and prevents servers from being run in Australia. Looks like the NZ servers will be busy. The already large problem of piracy and torrent downloading will now get worse in November when this game is released overseas. Australian businesses will now lose money simply because Australia doesn't have an R18+ rating for games... eg. game selling businesses and game server providers.

How hard can it be to include an R18+ rating for games?
It's there for other forms of media so why not games?

[SOF3] SOF Payback 
Friday, 12 October, 2007, 14:05 - Soldier of Fortune
Well it's official!

After years of rumors it's finally going to happen. The next installment of the Soldier of Fortune series is about to be released. Mid November. Activision is releasing Soldier of Fortune Payback.

- http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3163466 -


^^^ check the above link for some ingame footage!


For multiplayer, there will be standard Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag modes, along with Elimination and Demolition modes, which we don't know much about at this point. There will be long-term stat tracking included for those who play online.


Let's hope there is a client option to disable stats.
What is it with noobs and stats now-a-days?

[D3] Classic Doom for Doom 3 mod update 
Thursday, 11 October, 2007, 11:15 - Doom
we have put together a new “final” release of our mod, Classic Doom 3 to satiate those who have recently bought Doom 3 via the steam download service, or those who wish to play the mod running Doom 3 patch 1.3.1.


HAPPY DAYS !!


This is a great mod! I highy recommend this to anyone who loves the feeling of running around blasting stuff into oblivion and loved the prior Dooms. This mod is now updated to run with the latest patched version of Doom 3 (v1.3.1) Multiplayer Deathmatch is also an option for ALL the maps.

Install what you need to play this mod, crank up the sound and play this beast =]

[FEAR] expansion news 
Thursday, 11 October, 2007, 10:10 - FEAR
Extraction Point was the first expansion pack released for F.E.A.R. It was single-player only and followed the story perfectly from the original game.

Perseus Mandate is being released soon as expansion pack #2. The difference with this one is that it will give players a multi-player option. Even Balance, Inc. has been contracted by Sierra Entertainment to give us Punkbuster support - link. Thank You Sierra Entertainment !!


Perseus Mandate trailer - here -
Perseus Mandate single-player demo - here -

The demo offers a look at two new weapons and some very nice special effects but nothing really new to grab anyone who wasn't a fan of the original game, especially with the current new releases. Saying that... fans will love this pack :)
