Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification has struck again, this time refusing to rate Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator--a move that essentially bans the game.

As with Left 4 Dead 2, the game's "various types of violence" led to the call, with the official report (obtained by GameSpot) specifying that "the Predator collects 'trophies' by explicitly ripping off human heads, their spinal columns dangling from severed necks...heads can be twisted completely around...eyes can be stabbed through or gouged, leaving empty, bloodied eye sockets...extensive post-mortem damage, including decapitation and dismemberment, is also possible."

Sega now says that Gearbox's delayed Aliens shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines may ship earlier or later depending on the success of Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator.

The loving embrace of an alien. The longing stare of a predator. Much like Heavy Rain, Aliens vs. Predator is all about finding love. I think you find it with the help of an M41-A pulse rifle.

Aliens vs. Predator is set for a February 2010 launch on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Being a big fan of Rebellion's original Aliens vs. Predator FPS, the studio's new sequel--a faithful three-campaign amalgamation of the original experience--is extremely exciting to me.
