The Facebook group [URL=http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=149018692374]Aus Gamers United[/URL] is planning a public demonstration against the lack of an R18+ videogame ratings category in Australia which will feature a twist; all the participants will be dressed as zombies.

The same group conducted a similar event last year, but this year’s already looks to be monumentally bigger. The November 2009 march ([URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu5gL77JmGY]video here[/URL]) had 177 confirmed guests, while the new rally, [URL=http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=276796249249&index=1]scheduled for March 27[/URL], boasts 1,123 confirmed guests. The Epic Zombie March March is scheduled to kick off an Sydney's Hyde Park Fountain at 11:00 AM and run through 4:00 PM.

Urging people to “get your lurch on,” the event's organizer wrote:

…the serious reason we're putting the walk together is for the lack of an R rating for video games we have here in Aus. Someone needs to bring to attention how unfair this is to the gaming Industry and gamers ourselves. So why not us?
