F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Refused Classification in Australia

In recent months, Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification has refused classification, effectively banning, titles such as Fallout 3, Silent Hill: Homecoming, and Shellshock 2: Blood Trails. Eventually the aforementioned titles were allowed to be released, but only after edits were made. In the case of Fallout 3, those edits applied to all regions of the game. 

Now, according to Gamasutra, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin has been refused classification, and the Australian Classification Board and Classification Review Board aren't saying why. Although I haven't played the game and can't speak on the potentially gory specifics, the finger is probably being pointed at "multiple scenes of dismemberment," the same reason for Silent Hill's ban. But if that's the case, how did Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War 2 slip by? We'll keep our eyes peeled to see if Warner Bros. makes the requisite changes to get their game out in Australia.
