Fallout 3 is the highly anticipated sequel to 1995 RPG Fallout 2. In Australia, the game was initially refused classification. The game was then edited for Australia and submitted for classification a second time, which it passed successfully. The game will be released in Australia for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on the 31st of October.
