Sexy Poker Game Banned From Wii in Australia

Computer games are becoming a lot more controversal then they once were, games have become so violent that it would be impossible to let your kids play the console anymore.

But out of all the countries Australia probably have one of the highest rates of censorship rules. They have previously denied big-name titles Fallout 3 and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin any classification, which really means that any sales of the game are made illegal until a correct licence can be put in place.

But the most recent controversy was when Australia decided to deny to give classification to a new WiiWare title called “Sexy Poker”, (WiiWare is a service that allows Wii users to download games and applications specifically designed and developed for the Wii video game console made by Nintendo) this was not because the game involved any sort of online poker, but simply because the game is just like strip poker.

As the game's title states, Sexy Poker puts a player against a various selection of female opponents, each opponent is then kitted out in stereotypical fantasy outfits ranging from nurses' uniforms to police costumes, with level rates of nudity a reward for their continued success at the table.

I can understand why Australia do not want to give any certification to this game, because if kids get hold of it then it can be a very tricky situation. Unlike the rest of the world, Australia's certification levels are diiferent and only go up to MA15+. But a vast amount of people have been protesting to introduce a new certification label such as 18+.
