Australians are tired of getting the short end of the gaming stick. The lack of an R18+ rating on the OFLC means that games with mature or adult content can easily be refused classification and subsequently banned. They're not taking that lying down. In fact, gamers Down Under are planning to march and hold a rally demanding the implementation of an R18+ rating.

When was the last time you felt scared? Not just my-girl's-gonna-let-me-have-it scared, I'm talking soil-yourself-shamelessly scared. True enough, there might not be a video game out there that'll make you literally crap your pants, and it's far too impractical (and stupid) to find Leatherface to force your dinner down the backdoor. That said, let's just take a look at the things that come close.

Heads up guys! The latest US PlayStation Store update is now available. This weeks lineup includes a bunch of PSP game sales, new game demos including Fat Princess and Pro Evolution Soccer 2010, the usual game add-on contents, new Minis and a bunch of classic as well as some brand new downloadable games for the PS3 and PSP that includes LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival and Crystal Defenders.

Halloween isn't all about the zombies and the witches. There's also enough room in the occasion for a handful of cute. Speaking of which, your hands will be full of cute once you get LocoRoco Midnight Carnival for your PSP. Today's the day for the download you've been waiting for, but for those who won't be able to get it, there's a demo to try out, and a trailer you can watch right here.

Despite presenting problems for those who've already made the firmware upgrade, it seems that FW 3.0 has accomplished what it set out to do - boost sales for the PlayStation Store. One developer that benefited from this upgrade is Doublesix, which told GamesIndustry.biz that Burn Zombie Burn sales jumped 40% since the firmware's launch.

Plants vs. Zombies, released for PC and Mac a couple of months ago, is a quirky little tower defense game from PopCap Games that has players using plants to defend their house against a zombie invasion. If that sounds right up your alley, then here's some good news.

Sometimes it just feels good to be evil, and that's exactly what you'll be in Tecmo's Undead Knights. Here are some details regarding this upcoming PSP title.

PlayStation Store update coming up. We've got the usual Guitar Hero and Rock Band tracks coming in this week, plus the LittleBigPlanet, PAIN, and Unreal Tournament DLC packs that some of you guys may have been waiting for. Complete list inside.

Like the endless horde that countless movies portray them as, zombies have seen a resurgence in gaming, the most recent one being XomB (pronounced "zombie") from 3G Studios. Set in a re-imagined version of feudal Asia and drawing heavily from Asian mythology, XomB has the player fighting against a sweeping darkness that's forcibly corrupting the landscape and reanimating the dead.

This is a category that's especially close to my heart, kudos to those who dared to risk all, who colored outside the lines and put the extra thinkin' effort into giving us something fresh.

Once again, a lot of our editors agreed on one very special title... Unreal Tournament III... just kidding!
