Mortal Kombat Banned in Australia

When games are released now, they are submitted to review boards that assign appropriate ratings to them based on their content. Well WB games, the new owners of the Mortal Kombat Franchise, received some disturbing news today on Mortal Kombat. Due to the excessive gory and violence of the game, it has been banned in Australia. Now this is bad news for gamers down under, but for gamers in other parts of the world, this will only fuel anticipation to play a game that got banned in another country. I for one have 2 copies preordered.

Just to get everyone excited again for the game and for Kratos on PS3, here is the trailer again
