Lesbian scene gets Mass Effect banned
p2pnet news | Games:- Sex has once again reared its head in the gaming community, leading to another ban.
Take-Two Interactive’s Manhunt 2 has been barred in Britain and dropped by Target, its blatant sexual content cited as one of the reasons.
Now Mass Effect, an action role-playing game developed by BioWare for Microsoft’s Xbox 360, has been taken off the shelves in Singapore.
Slated for launch on November 20, it, “contains ‘lesbian intimacy’ between a woman and female alien,” say state officials, according to GamePro, which goes on:
“The offending scene of kissing and heavy petting ends with the female alien saying ‘by the gods, that was incredible, commander’.”
Other video games recently banned in Singapore include God of War II, for nudity, and The Darkness, for excessive violence and offensive expletives, adds the story.

The world was overrun in previous centuries by Puritanical idiotic assholes. Therefore, sex is sinful. Violence isn’t. Puritanical society thrived on violence.

If the game is rated “M” for mature content it’s not for kids right!!!. Then a don’t understand why it should be band in the first place. And yes I think that a “M” rating should allow sexual content if it is part of the game.
