Nov 21 - Singapore Bans Provocative Video Game


Singapore has banned an Xbox video game because it contains a sex scene between a woman and a female alien. A Microsoft spokesman in Singapore said Microsoft respected Singapore's decision to ban the game. "'Mass Effect' features realistic content and interactions in the context of the science-fiction story line," Ian Tan, marketing communications manager for Southeast Asia said. "The game takes a mature approach to various relationships amongst characters throughout the game and the content in question is another dynamic of that."
"This helps to ensure that games are suitable for a general audience and do not feature exploitative or gratuitous sex and violence, or denigrate any race or religion," Chetra said.
