The Australian Classification Review Board (PDF) today announced that it will be reviewing its rating of 12 video games.

　　The announcement was made following an application by the South Australian attorney-general to request reviews of each game's rating. As a result, the Classification Board will be meeting on November 18-19 and December 2, 4, and 5 to "consider the applications". The games in question are as listed:

　　Alien RageBorderlands 2 Expansion PacksCompany of Heroes 2Deadly Premonition: The Director's CutDeadpoolFuseGears of War: JudgmentGod ModeKiller is DeadTom Clancy's Splinter Cell: BlacklistThe Walking Dead: 400 DaysThe Walking Dead: Survival InstinctEach game was originally granted an MA15+ rating by the Classification Board. Following the reviews, the Australian Classification Board will be posting the results, accompanied by reasons for the decisions made on the official Australian Classification website.

　　The MA15+ rating is the second-highest rating that can be granted to a video game in Australia. An R18+ rating was officially introduced on January 1 this year. Since the introduction of the R18+ rating, two games have been banned from sale in the country: Both Saints Row IV and State of Decay were initially refused classification, which prompted developers to submit modified versions of the game to be granted an R18+ rating.
