[HEXUS]

I’m sure every gamer will cringe when they watch this ridiculously sensationalised debate about the much publicised nudity scenes in Bioware’s role playing game , Mass Effect.

its fox news....

Fox news.. oh dear lord.

Of course the upside is the 'expert' is now getting all her books slated on amazon as a result of this. She knew nothing about the game..

[Aez]

'The board who rated this needs to have their head examined' or something along those lines... what about all the movies with sexual scenes and when its a small part of a game it causes outrage.
I'm not surprised seeing how this is American.

[GonZoRush]

The Fox News channel is for those truly switched off in America, very pro Neocon, should be called the Faux News channel, personally I prefer to call them the Gestapo News channel.

Ah, but remember, according to Bushies all of American TV is under the control of the Liberal Media Elite - actually that sounds as though it'd make a good game title for the PS3; maybe involving a dance mat of some form or a toy guitar - so they're obviously only pretending to be a bunch of neocon crypto-fascist retarded ******s.

I just love the way she says:

"In some parts of this, you'll see full digital nudity... Imagine!!"

Nudity?! OMG! NOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!

Please Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Not the DIGITAL NUDITY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!

It's just TOO outrageous. I'm going to write to my MP straight away.

theres a part of a game featuring digital, a PART of a game, where as there have been versions of Virtual pets that are 'Sex Slaves' where you get them to do what you want ect, which is a game dedicated to nudety and sex!!!!! - i even remember seeing copies of it in GAME stores.

i really hate these people, REALLY REALLY!!

Apparently when Fox news ran their segment on this not only did they not research the game at all but they also stole the video of the "sex" scenes from ign.com without authorization and cropped out the watermark, not knowing of course that the character was a customized one that would be instantly recognized by the ign editor who created it...

""Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it's like pornography," she added. "But it's not like pornography. I've seen episodes of 'Lost' that are more sexually explicit.""

Hell must have frozen over if Jack Thompson is defending a GAME this time instead of attacking it !
