Singapore Lifts Ban On Mass Effect
Almost as quickly as the decision was made it was repealed. Singapore had banned Mass Effect from being sold in the country due to a scene where the female main character (if you choose a female) kisses an alien female. Today the Board of Film Censors has announced that the game will be sold in the country under an ‘M18′ rating which is a rating given to films intended for adults aged 18+. They also announced that in January they will begin creating a video games rating system. In the interim they will selectively use video game ratings to “enable highly anticipated games to be launched in Singapore.”

lol, the scene isn’t even a big deal. Movies have incredibly worse scenes in them. Meh, oh well.
