Will God of War III be banned or censored in Australia?

After reading a few previews of GoW III around the Internet, namely the GamesRadar one, I thought a few things to myself;

1. GoW with extreme gore - awesome
2. GoW with amazing graphics - awesome
3. GoW with extreme gore could ultimately be a bad thing - not awesome

In GamesRadar's preview of GoW III Mikel Reparaz points out how violent the game actually is.

"First, we’ll talk about the insane levels of gore that we mentioned earlier. Now, “gore” is a word that gets tossed around a lot in videogames, and it usually refers to bloody dismemberment or maybe a loop of intestine poking out here and there. God of War III takes that shit so far, it made a theater full of jaded games journalists go “eww!” in shocked unison. It’s not hyperbole to say that its gruesomeness is unprecedented in gaming. To be honest, there’s such a level of uncomfortable realism to it that it makes Gears of War’s chainsaw deaths look cartoonish."

"First, there was a demonstration of the game’s “zipper technology,” which was trotted out during the gameplay demo when Kratos faced down a centaur. Being a large enemy, it can be finished off with one of Kratos’ quicktime-event finishers – which ends, shockingly, with Kratos slitting open its belly and letting its clearly identifiable guts spill out onto the marble floor."

"Slightly later in the level, a Cyclopes showed up, giving Kratos an opportunity to show off his ability to ride and control the stupid beast by stabbing it repeatedly in the neck. More importantly, he finished it off in his usual way – by tugging out its eyeball – but this time, the camera panned around to a close-up side view. As Kratos dug into the creature’s eye socket and began to pull the massive orb free, it slowly bulged outward and the eyelid slid back until suddenly, the eyeball was torn free and left hanging by an angry red nerve stalk."

"Immediately after that, we were treated to a scene in which Kratos works his magic on Helios, the sun god whom he rescued in Chains of Olympus. And note that when we say “works his magic,” we mean he straddled the god from behind, grabbed his head with both hands and – in a brutal, multi-stage button-mashing sequence that focused closely on Helios’ agonized face – tore Helios’ head right the hell off. It wasn’t just a clean rip, either, as the skin stretched and tore, revealing muscles and tendons underneath that snapped loose individually as the god screamed out his final breath."

GoW III sounds like it's is going to be brutal, very brutal. This is fine by me, perfect even, but if we take a sweet little trip down memory lane to a place called November 2008, Australian gamers were shocked to find out that F.E.A.R. 2 had been banned in Australia due to "High-Impact violence" Of course, we all know the decision concerning F.E.A.R. 2 was re-thought and the game was given permission to be sold within our glorious country. 3 cheers for F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R. 2 isn't the only game with a high level of violence to have trouble with the Australian classification board. If you do a Google search of games banned in Australia one of the top results will be a might fine Wiki page showing you all the games, the reasons they were banned and if they were eventually allowed into the country, censored or un-censored. The Getaway, Grand Theft Auto (III, Vice City, San Andreas and IV), Manhunt, Manhunt 2, Soldier of Fortune Payback are all games that have been censored to be allowed on Australian soil
I don't know if GoW III will be banned or censored, I'm not a fortune teller but after reading some of the previews and the focus on gore it really makes you wonder if GoW III will fall victim to Australia's child-like beliefs on gamers.

If this came to be, a piece of me would painfully die and my love I have for my country would retrench to a state of nothing.
