Mass Effect content?

It's at Walmart for $20, so I thought I might get it, but what might be the deal with the sexual content?

If you even choose to do the romance subplot, you'll see someone's butt (and maybe some side-boob) and then it fades to black.

Then they share banter for a few seconds before more important things start happening. This is PG-13 stuff, not a lot to worry about. But really, I wouldn't even bother with the subplot unless you REALLY want the achievement. It's pretty boring.

Fox news made a huge deal about it destroying american values or something, so you should know that it's actually pretty tame.

Tarnish has the gist of it. 20 seconds of a "love" scene in which you see hints of the sides of bits that you've already likely already seen in the mirror (I catch my own side-boob every day) and that's it. Also, to reiterate what Tarnish said, the stuff is highly optional.
You get the option to engage in same-sex stuff, but only if you're female. What that says about our society I think anyone who has visited a frat-house will tell you.

the Bring Down the Sky expansion, is nice, I haven't finished it, but in all honesty, they should have added more.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Bringing Down the Sky as a DLC was a joke. It was fun, but incredibly minimal...

But Mass Effect is nothing but a great game. 20 Dollars is a bargain. You can't go wrong.

It's one of the few games that actually makes me want a 360. That's saying a lot. Trust me.

The 360 has quite a bit going on, but this is definitely some of the best of it.

Me too... I hope soon after we get ME2, we finally get a port of ME1... Same with Dead Rising, but I'd expect more from Bioware than from Capcom at the moment...

Mass Effect had me drooling. I was trying to buy it on PC, but couldn't find it anywhere local... Since my harddrive is nearly full, I can't really install any more games on my PC anyhow, and my DirectX isn't working with my 3d card for some reason, so this is all completely moot, and PC gaming UE3 and above is out of the question for me right now...

I'm fairly certain you guys'll get some sort of port action going on, and as is often the way with late broken exclusives, you'll probably get a lil extra content too. ;)
