Ban This Game (a game about censorship in Australia)
polycounter lvl 18
Ban This Game is a small game about censorship in Australia. I made it in a couple of days using Torque Game Builder. It's a pretty simple game but I'm hoping it will draw attention to this issue among people who didn't already know about it and perhaps spark some interesting discussions.

You got to click the images 3 times in order to ban the games, it's just a counter telling you how many times you've clicked it.
Haha, I just realized it looks exactly like the Fraps counter! I never noticed that while I was making it.
Seriously throw this over to the gamer blogs and podcast shows. I know many podcasts I listen to for industry news the Australian censorship thing has come up a lot in talks about titles like Alien vs Predator, and Left for Dead 2. It might help you get a wider audience and awareness of this issue to the young adult crowd that read and listen to those particular things. Even if its just a little one off game to have people become more aware of the issues.
As far as the game itself, the one thing I would be interested in seeing is exactly what websites and games I banned, and which ones got through. Its tough to tell when everything is jumping around.
Seriously great job, and I hope that it gets the ball rolling on a change in the system over there.
The ratings here a joke, but I guess I'm biased, I'm just a zealous gamer with a vested interest in harming society, right?
What they need is to add a 18+ label and have adults be able to buy also 18+ content just like alcohol, movies and certain gear.
