And so here comes another adult-themed game that was snubbed by Australia's classication board, the OFLC. Simply put, they refused to stamp on a rating for Konami's horror-strategy title, Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).

What could have possibly turned them off? We're not sure, but what's apparent is that they have decided that the game has got certain material in it that they find offensive. You think the nurses' skirts might have been too short for their liking? I mean, sure they have fugly varicose veins on their bloody legs, but come on.

Only recently, Bethesda's Fallout 3 also fell prey to the stringent classification rules of Australia, having also been refused classification for the presence of morphine reference in the game, although it is for the purpose of healing injuries.

And once again, frustrated gamers are coming out in the open questioning the viability of OFLC's "antiquated" regulatory policies, particularly when it comes to adult-themed games, which need not necessarily be sexual in nature.

No word yet on how Konami took this news, or what they intend to do for their next step. Until we find out what the OFLC found specifically wrong with the game, we'll have to say it's got to be the nurses' legs.
