There’s been some good news for gamers Down Under who like a bit of blood–Michael Atkinson, the politician many see as to blame for Australia’s strict games classification system, has decided to step down as Attorney- General.

The country doesn’t have a rating such as our 18, so developers have had to censor titles so they can be classified as MA15+. The resignation of Atkinson, who has fought hard against violence in games, should remove a big obstacle in the introduction of a new R18+ rating.
