Recently fox aired a special show regarding Mass Effect, calling the Xbox a SexBox and generally spouting s***out of the mouths of their 'experts' who obviously havn't done a single bit of research into the matter. This is all due to a short sexual scene, which isn't even that major. Watch the video and read a little more CLICK HERE (http://kotaku.com/347350/keighley-sets-mass-effect-record-straight-or-tries-to). Keighly is obviously fighting a one sided battle but does try his best - kudos.

Later on EA mails Fox for them to correct all those errors made in that show they aired on the matter. EA stating that Fox is (And I agree with EA) is ruining the the work of a good few hundred developers and the odd year or two they spent to create this. "They need to understand there are 100 people in Edmonton, Alberta who dedicated years to making that game. They've got names, faces and reputations - and they've been slandered. We're angry about that." READ MORE HERE. (http://kotaku.com/348187/ea-calls-fox-out-on-insulting-mass-effect-inaccuracies)

Fox still didn't correct the errors they made an inaccuracies. READ EVEN MORE! (http://kotaku.com/348692/ea-fighting-mad-about-fox-news-but-still-no-correction)

In the end the gamers fight back to defend it all!

Lol @ the book review spamming. A good reminder that spam only works properly when it swarms like a massive pack of bees >=)

Oh, and i think Fox are just trying to cater for the hot topic that never seems to die of video games becoming too violent/sexual/etc. sad that they resort to something like this though
