Australia gains its first ever ‘adult’ game

Australia is finally getting its hands on an "adult" rated game, as Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge becomes the first game to receive the country's newly introduced R18+ rating
The Australian Classification Board has received years of criticism for banning those games that contained adult content inappropriate for its MA15+ rating. While the tight controls were laudable for ensuring that young gamers weren't subjected to games too violent for their age, the lack of an "adult" category resulted in mature gamers missing out on the original content of a host of games, including Grand Theft Auto III in 2001 and Mortal Kombat in 2011.
Those developers whose games were refused an MA15+ rating but still wanted to see their games arrive on Australian shores were previously forced to go through the arduous process of censoring and modifying their games for the Australian Classification Board.
