Reservoir Dogs, a movie-screen-to-PC-screen revolution, will hit gaming platforms later this year but it may not be as popular as expected. Following intense controversy over the game's content, Australian game certifications have firmly banned the title from sale in the country.

The game, which has been reported as being "ultra-violent", now sparks growing scepticism in the UK as West Yorkshire Police deem the game "[a] sickening glorification of violence against police officers..." The title allows players to capture, interrogate and torture officers of the law to achieve specific objectives or goals.

Although many British Police chiefs condemn the release of the title, the British Board of Film Classification has allowed its sale within the United Kingdom. Expect nothing less than an 18 rating.

Reservoir Dogs will land on PC, Playstation 2 and Xbox in October.

To clarify in Australia we have no 18+ rating for games, so if they hit that rating they are instantly banned.

It sucks, but we are putting pressure on the government to change it.
