Halo 2 Sexy 4 U

by Evan Shamoon on May 29, 2007 at 05:01 PM



In yet another example of our country's bizarre brand of morality, the Windows Vista release of 'Halo 2' has been delayed because of some "partial nudity" making its way into the finished product.

In an e-mail statement Microsoft sent to Next-Generation, the company said, "It has come to our attention that an unfortunate, obscure content error which includes partial nudity was included in our initial production of 'Halo 2' for Windows Vista. As such, we have updated the initial game packaging at retailers with a label, so customers are aware before purchasing the game. Additionally, we've developed an online update which can be downloaded from www.halo2.com to remove the content. At Microsoft we take the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) guidelines very seriously and hold ourselves to high standards, with our customers always in mind."

What have we learned today, kids? Let's recap: Partial nudity is bad, but shooting hundreds upon thousands of anthropomorphic creatures in the face with assault rifles and shotguns is no problem.
