Sequel to 2K's critically acclaimed first-person shooter gets firm release date across all territories on Xbox 360, PS3, PC.

BioShock thought they would not have long to wait, when 2K Games
announced the game was to ship worldwide from the end of October. Alas, this was not to be, and BioShock 2, which was first officially confirmed in March 2008, was later moved to a "fiscal 2010" window, with Take-Two saying the game should be out between February and July.

Aussie Classification Board cites "realistic, frenetic and unrelenting violence" as cause for antipodean zombie game ban.
Left 4 Dead 2's planned mid-November local release was put in jeopardy
today, when the Australian Classification Board had put its legislative
foot down. The Classification Board is the government body responsible

guideline for games. (Only films can reach the board's maximum R18+
rating.) The announcement means the Valve title is now illegal to sell,
rent, or promote within Australia.

in April, when Bethesda, dissatisfied with Interplay's efforts, revoked the
