For those who don’t know, the original Mass effect courted controversy by including a story line path that caused the main character to bed a female member of the crew (whether she is human or alien). This wasn’t the main thing that caused moderates to start shouting though; it was the ability from the start to create a main of your choosing. So if you picked a female lead then it was possible for your character to end up in bed with a female team mate. This caused outcries from the less informed moral majority to ban Mass Effect

So it bemuses me that with the introduction of Mass Effect 2, why this issue has come back. Apparently the Gaming world is not read for Inter Species Lesbian Liaisons; however it’s perfectly acceptable to pull a Marines Head off and polish his skull up for a trophy as a Predator in Aliens vs. Predator released not soon after.
