'Fallout 3' censored across all regions
The censored version of forthcoming post-apocalyptic title Fallout 3 is to be given a worldwide release.

The game was banned from release in Australia due to real-life drug references. Developer Bethesda Softworks subsequently altered the names and was given clearance by the censorship board.

Talking to Edge, product manager Pete Hines insisted that the censorship was trivial, saying: "I didn't want people continuing to assume that the version in Australia was some altered version when it's not."

Fallout 3 is an action role-playing-game set in a future destroyed by a nuclear holocaust. It won the Critics Game of the Show award at E3 earlier this year.

The title is scheduled for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 31.
