Games On Net has a follow-up on news that Silent Hill Homecoming has been reclassified for release in Australia with word on why the Aussie censors changed their minds. They quote the classification board explaining some content has been cut: "Several depictions of violence have been edited or removed altogether from the game. This includes the removal of many finishing moves that contained high level violence, as well as explicit scenes of torture using a power drill." Though some of the game's gore has been toned down to permit its release, the article also notes that a minority of the classification board expressed the opinion that the game's "elements of violence and themes are higher than strong," and they still favor refusing to classify it for sale.
