It's a good step in the right direction.

Good luck with what they're trying to do with Facebook, though.

The point of having an AO rating is so that we don't get ridiculous cases like Fallout 3 being initially banned in Australia because of the use of syringes and pills (the gore was ok, however!). The drug references were deemed too strong for a 15+ rating. With an 18+ rating, however, it's likely that Fallout 3 would have been accepted for release without needing any adjustments to its content.

So it's not a "AO" rating, it's an "M" / PEGI 18 rating.

("AO" in US terms is the game equivalent of X or NC-17 rated movies, not R)
