So, there was the growing controversy between He-said, She-said between Fox News and EA. The following video is a parody on the "newscast" where the "expert", Cooper Lawrence had made a few "uneducated" statements including that the game allegedly features "full digital nudity and sex."
The game is rather off-the-hook, a cross between an RPG and FPS. I haven't gotten very far due to a rather inconvenient Xbox hardware snag. (I'm still waiting for MS to ship the repair box over *single tear*). The game is M-rated and has one network-TV-friendly sex scene late in the 30-hour game.play drama.
What adds to this drama?
Gamers took matters to heart and "attacked" her where they thought it would hurt — on the Amazon.com wgere Lawrence has a listing for the book that was plugged during her Fox News appearance, "The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace with Your Inner Overachiever." Gamers took to jotting down 400 scathing user reviews, many by gamers who admitted to not reading her book. All's fair, no?
Many of those reviews have been deleted, though many still have a negative slant. Amazing what the power of one-star ratings can do when done en masse.
