The British rating board has caused a little storm in a tea cup with its rating of Mass Effect.
First the nudity…
There is breast nudity in one version of the scene
Wow that sounds exciting…. Anyway the “one version” statement is because the game can be played in various ways and one path will lead you to this scene.
And then the other controversial point is
If playing as a female character the scene can take place between her and a male human or a female humanoid alien
So you can have Alien Lesbian Sex however according to the site you cannot have male on male sex whether they are humanoid or alien… A bit of double standards I think.
The words bastard and bitch are also used, the second one in an aggressive manner as well.
Okay so none of this is really groundbreaking so why the fuss? The British Board of Film Classification has decided that Mass Effect will receive a 12 rating… 12. If my 12 year old used language like that or could initiate sexual acts in a game I would be a very unhappy dad. The US decided to give the game a M (Mature) rating which is much more accurate in my opinion.

What do you think 12 year olds get up to, Lazy 🙂 ? Bitch and breastesses and sex really aren’t anything new to 12 year olds nowadays…
