Mass Effect banned in Singapore for "Lesbian Sex Scene"

This week, Microsoft and Bioware, creators of the popular 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic' series, released 'Mass Effect', a science fiction space role playing game. The game is already getting amazing reviews for its immersive story-telling and character development.

But, wait: Mass Effect also sports an alien lesbian sex scene. Oh, yes. It turns out that Singapore isn't very happy about said scene, and has gone ahead and banned the game.

The scene includes a human woman and an alien woman "kissing and caressing each other." We have seen the scene (we won't disclose how many times), and while it's nothing that you wouldn't see on prime time here in the United States, we can only guess that Singapore isn't ready for intergalactic girl-friendly love just yet.

So...how long until Jack Thompson jumps on this?

Yep. And I'm sure JT already has his copy but he's too busy replaying that scene with a Cmdr. Shepard made to look like Hilary Clinton.

I'm kinda surprised that I'm at over 20 hours and I still haven't reached that scene. Especially since the 1Up Show has a reviewer say that he beat the game in 13 hours. I guess he must have done absolutely none of the sidequests.

yeah, I just watched that episode of Firefly where Inara makes out with the female Counselor. it's not like the general public isn't ready for lesbian makeouts.

Don't critics rush through games ASAP to reach a deadline?

So, probably.
