Singapore bans Mass Effect

Microsoft and Bioware's sci-fi action role-playing game Mass Effect is due to be released on November 20 in North America and November 23 in Europe. There will be one country that won't be playing the highly anticipated title, though--Singapore.

Reuters is reporting that the Microsoft game has been banned by Singapore's Media Development Authority due to the much publicised love scene that can occur between a female human--if the main character is set up as female--and alien 'woman'. The gender of the alien in question is actually not quite that simple; while female in appearance, the designation has little significance for the species in question--the Asari--as they are mono-gendered.

Other recent games have also been banned in the country, including God of War 2 (for nudity), and The Darkness (for excessive violence, and religiously offensive expletives).

 

To tell the truth I don't really care for Mass Effect but this is just bull even if it isn't America. The Target in America pulled this same stunt with Manhunt 2 and I for one say this is BULL****. Im not trying to bad mouth all the movies in the world but how the hell are you gonna lets somebody buy the Saw Trilogy out of Target but ban pixelated games in the same store the world is a crazy, unfair world to live in and if your a gamer your getting the short stick out of the bundle :(

 

PS:Watch when Grand Theft Auto comes out people are gonna try to get that banned too.
