Bioware's new game Mass Effect has received a 12 rating in the UK (and a Mature rating from the ESRB) for “moderate violence and one sex scene.”

Some versions of the scene include “breast nudity” and depending on the player's choices, may involve male on female or female on female sex with a human or alien character. The game's designers weren't quite progressive enough to include a male on male option, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

The scene is described as “brief and undetailed” which sounds a lot like my real life.

Pro-G <a href=”has the details along with a video introduction to the game.

I wanted to write a wry, disturbing and borderline offensive post about this scene, but Tycho at Penny Arcade beat me to it.
