ESRB Alert! Mass Effect: M for Mature!

by

You know, I’ve said it a billion times already! The ESRB can NOT keep it’s damn trap s… oh, wait… this is about Mass Effect? Oh, well we all knew about Mass Effect, so all is forgiven.

This time.

That’s right, folks — the ESRB has laid their verdict on the upcoming Bioware Epic of Awesome, Mass Effect, and they have ruled that Mass Effect will, in fact, be rated M for Mature. Why? Well, apparently Mass Effect is gonna have two of my favorite things in life: Blood and boobies.

It seems that Bioware has gone down a more mature path with their latest title, which is NOT a bad thing. Their previous titles, such as KotOR and Jade Empire, were aimed more towards a general audience. They were rated T for Teen, and didn’t feature blood. However… KotOR DID feature a lesbian storyline, which you could consider risque — even if it was just due to an oversight on Bioware’s part.

This news only has me MORE excited about Mass Effect now, and I can hardly contain myself as E3 approaches. Maybe we’ll even find out when we can expect to see Mass Effect on our store shelves.

CLARIFICATION: Newbiezilla is right — Jade Empire got a M rating. My error. It happens sometimes.

    Jade Empire got an M, and it featured homosexual (both male and female) relationships.

    Also, Bioware are still refusing to admit about the rating. http://masseffect.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=559883&forum=104
