| Federal Government to censor internet in 18+ rating battle |
I'm sure you're all aware by now that Australia has no R18+ rating when it comes to video games, any title not fit for people under the age of 15 is either banned or censored as a result.

| Wii MotionPlus to be recalibrated often |
 Wii MotionPlus offers gamers 1:1 movement accuracy but to provide the best results the device will need to recalibrate itself every so often. Certain Wii MotionPlus compatible games such as Wii Sports Resort will require you to hold down the + button on the Wiimote whenever prompted so the console knows where you are standing. The recalibration is said to not take very long and requires minimal time and effort, it couldn't be any more annoying then the Wii's safety message at the start of each game.
