Controversial video game Mass Effect goes on sale in Singapore today -- with an M18 sticker on the package. It is the first game in Singapore to carry a rating, in this case M18, which means someone under 18 cannot buy it.
Mass Effect was initially banned by Singapore's Media Development Authority because of a brief love scene between a human and an alien, both female. The MDA later changed its mind - effectively fast-forwarded its new video-game rating system meant to take effect next year.
