Australia “not too sure” about next Pippa Funnel game

They eat it like we eat sherbet

The Australian Board of Nannystate Banhammerisms has put the kybosh on the next Pippa Funnel horse riding game, stating “difficulties in the comfortable classification and passing of any game featuring a woman with an unhealthy interest in ponies”.

The ABNB (known as “BAN!B” down under) have recently refused Aliens VS Predator classification on the basis of the extreme violence found within the game. Other notable releases of 2009 also got scuppered from sale in the land of vegemite sandwiches, causing gamers in Australia to consider importing games from the Eurasian continent instead.

Meanwhile, several publishers are looking to sanitize their games to try and comply with the ABNB’s harsh and stringent censorship standards. Rockstar’s “The Ballad of Gay Tony” will be renamed “The Ballad of Happy Tony” and will end abruptly after the first disco dance in the opening scenes set in a Liberty City nightclub. “Assassin’s Creed 2” will be renamed “An Italian in Venice”, and will merely show the Assassin’s Creed logo on a white background for ten seconds before offering the player all the game’s achievements, then skipping straight to the end credits.

Bayonetta? Ahhh fuck it, they’re not even going to try.
