Singapore is incredibly strict and has tons of excessive rules and laws. They make shirts in Asia that says Singapore is a FINE (a big red stamped fine indicating you've been punished) city. A nice city, but they take loss of liberty pretty casually. I've lived there. In fact, when we moved there they took our home videos and censored them for us... how nice huh?

I could see why they'd ban it if it was two males, but two females? Come on now, who doesn't enjoy that? :P

SWEET ... There's a woman on woman scene in Mass Effect?? Awesome. What makes it better is that one of the two women is an alien!! Sounds like some developer got inside my head and pulled out a fantasy.

That's crazy about Singapore though. Did you know Singapore is largely known for their child prostitution rings?? But that's ok I guess. Maybe the developer should have put more money in Lee Kuan Yew's (thanks google) pocket.

who doesn't enjoy that? The Singapore Government.

I just hope their gamers can import it if not they'll be missing out on hopefully a great game.

Oh, I'm sorry please show me where I said America didn't have issues. You can't? I can tell you why you can't because you are putting words in my mouth. Quit it and just read what I said. Don't add stuff, it doesn't work like that.

Ah breasts the great divide,Some countries love them, while others wish to hide them away from sight. Then you have other events like mardi gras that encourage the freedom and liberation of breasts.Few truely understand that with great breasts comes great responsibility. (Disclaimer: Being a proud owner of breasts I am in no way slandering or provoking people with them, Instead this is used for joking proposes)

I think its odd in a way this is the big conceren is that is a,"Aliean" girl. I mean theres a human girl who is a option as well for romance. But Sinapore however draws the line when lesiban affairs inculde alieans.

Outside of the US & Canada other countries do some weird things to games Germany for instance butchers most games that go there or bans them because of crap censorship laws. Like seriously can a government legally not allow a video game?

Hm, that sucks.

And also, did anyone else see that it said ME was the first 360 game banned but then later it said that it banned the Darkness? Anyone else seeing a contradiction here?
