Topic: Welcome to Violence!

SEGA have released a 'Welcome to Violence" pack in Australia with 3 games bundled for $109.95 AUD.

The bundle includes Madworld, The Conduit and House of the Dead: Overkill, which holds the world record for most f-bombs in a video game.

Haha, that's kind of cool. Perhaps a little expensive, and I'm not sure if The Conduit belongs in there, but cool nonetheless.
I also like the cover case thinger.

Thats Australian dollars though so it would be about $60 USD

Ah, I see, I am not very familiar with conversion rates between USD and AUD. I know the rough conversion of CDN and USD though.

Interesting...it's pretty funny they put 2 games with loads of blood and gore and then put The Conduit in.

You're lucky with those two MA-15 titles (House of the Dead and Madworld).

Am I right in thinking that in Australia, they're planning to do away with the "18" certificate and just not release them? Because both of those titles I mentioned are rated 18 by the BBFC and the PEGI.

EDIT: Oops. I forgot about the whole Left 4 Dead debacle in Australia - I hope this means you won't be getting a seriously pacified version.

No, both HOTD and MW are the same game as you, but yea, we don't have an 18+ rating which means alot of games are either denied or as you said, they turn out to become Left for Dead 2.

good price, but The Conduit is WAAAY out of place there

Does Sega know the Wii's audience or what.

Glad Sega doesn't plan on selling any copies.

Especially when anyone can get all those for 37 bucks, not 60.

What a neat package......wait, is that the Conduit in there? Never mind. Don't know how that turd slipped in.

It makes sense I guess. Two games containing violence and one that will cause it.

I can see this being banned in the US or Europe.

Wow, imagine a kid trying to get that through the door at a local Gamestop.

Yeah, $100 or so AUS is cheap for 3 games...:/
_{my smiley's eye got eaten by the ellipsis...}

why not No More Heroes instead of the conduit?

Quick question, Is there a bleep option on Overkill? It would make the whole game one big bleep joke and I will laugh so hard.

Actually it's about $100 US. The exchange rate is currently $0.92 US to the Aus dollar.

Mind you, that's still pretty cheap for Australian games. For newer release ones, they're typically $50-$100 a pop.

As for the ratings - a lot of MA games in Australia are R rated elsewhere, but rather than ban them, they get released here at a lower age rating. Which is precisely why we need an R rating for games.

Dante's Inferno on the PS3, for instance, should never have been released for MA audiences - and no, it's not censored any more than in the US. That's a real 18+ game there.

I'm pretty sure NMH was not published by Sega.
