Halloween: The Game is banned in Australia because incentivized drug use is bad but incentivized ultra-violence isn't

Priorities, priorities.

The top 3

  1. Games Banned for Extreme Violence/Gore: Titles like 'Manhunt' and 'Manhunt 2' were widely banned in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and Germany for their graphic and relentless violence, with 'Manhunt 2' being labeled as one of the most violent games ever made.
  2. Games Banned for Drug Use or Illegal Activities: Recent examples include 'Halloween: The Game,' banned in Australia and New Zealand for incentivized marijuana use, while 'Fallout 3' had to rename 'morphine' to 'Med-X' to avoid an Australian ban, and 'Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars' featured a drug-dealing mini-game.
  3. Games Banned for Political or Religious Reasons: 'Command & Conquer: Generals' was banned in China for depicting the country in a negative light and showing Tiananmen Square being blown up, while 'KZ Manager 1988' was banned for its offensive premise of managing a Nazi concentration camp.
