According to this Kotaku story, Fallout 3 was refused classification in Australia because the drug-taking in the game was too life-like.
“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,” said the Australian Office of Film & Literature Classification. “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.”
Yeah, that’s great. Pretend it isn’t there. Lunacy.

Amazing that pills in a game, look like pills in reality isn’t it? I’ve not seen any Rad-X, Jet or Stimpacks in my hospital’s pharmacy though so it’s not that similar to the real world.
