Fallout 3 has captured audiences worldwide with its dark humour, compelling storyline and stunning visuals. The game features one of the most realized game worlds ever created.

In recent weeks there's been significant uproar amongst PC gamers about a current flavour of DRM on recent key titles, such as Spore and Crysis Warhead, where the customer is only given a finite number of activations per copy. Naturally there were concerns of whether or not other eagerly-awaited titles would carry similar DRM implementations, such as Bethesda Softworks' Fallout 3.
PC fans waiting for Fallout 3 can breath a sign of relief. In a recent interview with Shacknews, Peter Hines, Bethesda's Vice President of Public Relations, was asked about which kind of copy protection Fallout 3 would carry;

The Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification have handed Bethesda's Fallout 3 an "RC" rating, effectively making it illegal to sell the game in Australia.
There has been no clarification as to exactly why the game failed to achieve an MA15+ rating, currently the most restricted rating that can be applied to video games in Australia as unlike New Zealand they lack an R16 or R18 designation.
Fortunately we have learned that the full version of Fallout 3 has been submitted to the New Zealand censors and is expected to pass.
