Bethesda's Fallout 3 has been banned in Australia by the Office of Film and Literature Classification. 

The game's "chems" are the issue at hand: 
"Corresponding with the list of various "chems" are small visual representation of the drugs, these include syringes, tablets, pill bottles, a crack-type pipe and blister packs. In the Board's view these realistic visual representations of drugs and their delivery method bring the "science-fiction" drugs in line with "real-world" drugs."

Sorry Aussies, this game isn't allowed near the land of marsupials, Aboriginal boomerangers or the Great Barrier Reef.  Some would say you wouldn't be playing the real Fallout 3 anyway, so count your blessings and reallocate your Fallout 3 savings to fill up your crack pipe.
