MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language.
So it's even more disturbing that these so called pro-family right wing oppinion makers are actually no more then liars. For a common citizen, slightly worried about it's child's education, who as a general knowledge still thinks that video games are for kids (contrary to the truth, as reported by the Entertainment Software Association which reports the average age of the gamer to be 33yold), coming across an article like this, crowded with lies, what will he/she think??!
And disturbing is the lobby/pressure that these kind of people have in the US.
Mass Effect
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/0/CC8...
Contains moderate violence and one moderate sex scene
MASS EFFECT is a role playing game and shooter set in the future in space. The player controls either a male or female American soldier through a long and involved story line, making choices along the way. The game has been classified at '12' for moderate violence and one sex scene.
The violence is undetailed and takes place in a futuristic setting. The single sex scene is brief and undetailed, although there is breast nudity in one version of the scene. The sex scene is triggered by the player making a series of choices about becoming more than friends with a colleague. If playing as a male character the scene can take place between him and a human woman or a humanoid female alien. If playing as a female character the scene can take place between her and a male human or a female humanoid alien.
The game also contains use of the word 'bastard' and at least one aggressive use of the word 'bitch'. Both of which are acceptable under BBFC Guidelines at '12'.

I don't care so much about the implications of these people's coments in video games, as i do in our Lives. I mean, come one, these people think that sex corrupts one's morality and shake at the sight of a woman's breasts and yet, they have guns at home...
actually this makes me really angry
i mean its ok to go watch a movie with sex scenes and violence, but if its in a videogame then its the work of the devil!!!!
and anyway, there wasnt even any sex in this ME sex scene, only ones mind suggested the kissing and cuddles lead to sex
so its now clear! kissing and cuddling and basically any vital human social need should be banned!!!!! because whoever wrote the artical 'cant get it up' anymore so hes jelous because even videogame characters are 'getting some'
^^, there, an unnessecerily stupid reply to his stupid article
BTW, i dont take anything any american with power says seriously. to a country that sells guns so easily to their people yet nitpick theres kissing in a videogame all i have to say is... sort out the real life problems you fat cats!!!!
Problem is that games are still not at the same accpeted mature level like movies.. A lot of people still see videogames as something for kids, no matter if they are M-rated ones.. That's the problem.. Together with the (imho obsolete and retarted) religous culture where violence is indeed okish but sex is a big taboo..

Mass Effect - Nov 07 - Start the Fight!!!
Bitches!!
In my opinion sex isn't something adolencents should know as little as possible about (it's the other way around). Games with mild sex scenes shouldn't be automaticaly rated for adults only, just like movies. Also there is a fine line between a sex scene and straight porn. I'm all for more sex scenes in games, don't think that will happen in the near future, tho. The moral police will always be there. They think sex is something unusual but violence and killing seems to be the most natural thing to show an adolescent...
This sort of backwards, intolerant mentality is disgusting in the 21st century, im appalled by just how ignorant those people are... to be honest in europe the views on sex make much more sense and north american has fallen behind, well i do live in montreal, quebec, having a french influence, at least sex isnt taboo here.

Mods, stop changing my SIG! I'm going to end up banning you!
Why the hell do they continue to criticise our beloved industry over a small, simple, well done sex scene, when films such as `Hostel` are out there for all manner of `loopy chavs` to go and see?.
They need to sort out ALOT of other cultural activities before turning the heat up on our past time!!.

Do you watch the Fox Network? Do you watch Family Guy? Have you ever seen The OC? Do you think the sexual situations in Mass Effect are any more graphic than scenes routinely aired on those shows? Do you honestly believe that young people have more exposure to Mass Effect than to those prime time shows?
This isn't a legal threat; it's an appeal to your sense of fairness. We're asking FNC to correct the record on Mass Effect.
