GameZone.com - Imitation or Inspiration?
As games grow larger in scope, so do budgets, and thus, the risks involved with any deviations from the norm. Can we really blame DICE for playing to the crowd in Medal of Honor? Creating a new scheme for multiplayer would mean building a completely new fanbase. Now, DICE can count on attracting former Call of Duty players on the lookout for something new, or at least, mildly different.

Sydney Morning Herald - More Consultation On R18+ Gaming Classification.
This is what O'Connor terms "the silent majority" — non-gamers who are likely to care too little about this issue to ever contact their local member and tell them that an adult classification for games really is needed, and could we please hurry up and get one. Yet the urgency is real. The lack of an R18+ classification leads the Australian Classification Board to make inconsistent decisions when rating adult content. Games that should be rated R18+ are slumped into the MA15+ category, meaning Australian 15-year-olds are consuming content reserved for 18-year-olds in other countries. The introduction of an R18+ for games would provide a better set of guidelines to the Australian Classification Board, who would finally be able to draw a very real line between content suitable only for 15-year olds, and content suitable only for 18-year-olds and above.
