Scream long and hard and chances are you’ll get what you wanted. In Singapore’s case, that seems to hold very true. Having banning the critically acclaimed Mass Effect after videos of hot alien lesbian sex scenes (if you can even call it that) surfaced on the Internet, Singapore’s Media Development Authority went back to take a look at the scenes and appear to have finally came to their senses. According to The Straits Times:

The Board of Film Censors (BFC) said in a statement on Friday evening that it will selectively use games ratings to ‘enable highly anticipated games to be launched in Singapore’ until it puts in place a games classification system in January.

The statement said that ‘this will allow such games to enter the market with immediacy and give the industry and members of the public a better understanding of the benefits of the proposed games classification system’.

So rejoice fellow Xbox 360 gamers in Singapore, for Mass Effect is banned no longer and you can all get your freak on along with the rest of us by watching your favorite videogame characters indulge in same-sex cross-species humping. Or you could just go play VirtuallyJenna, without all the messy RPG elements, if that’s your thing. Either way, be thankful the MDA hasn’t seen our Bollywood “item numbers” yet.

P.S.: As an afterthought, will Fable for Xbox Originals get banned in Singapore as well, considering it had a lot more sexual stuff going for it. Or what about Fahrenheit, with all its “interactive sex” and the full frontal nudity? What happens when the Fall Update hits Singapore December 4th?
