I'm pretty sure you all read my commentary about the "controversy" over the Xbox 360 game, Mass Effect, by Bioware. I just found a great article from GamePolitics.com that has shed even more light on the tripe that the called a broadcast. Their "expert" is one Cooper Lawrence, an author and psychologist. Wait 'til you hear the titles of her books. The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace with Your Inner Overachiever; Been There, Done That, Kept the Jewelry; The Fixer-upper Man: Turn Mr. Maybe into Mr. Right in 5 Easy Steps; -and the unforgettable Cosmo Girl’s Quiz Book: All About Guys. Huh? Really? Then I proceeded to look her up and she's basically a radio personality that got a degree in Developmental Psychology and decided to write a few "Cosmo" books. And apparently gamers are speaking out on Amazon.com and they're not happy. Seems that quite a few people "reviewed her book" today after the Fox News piece. Hmm....I wonder if Jack Thompson is quietly wiping the sweat from his brow somewhere.
UPDATE: I just found this great article on Gamespot by MrCHUP0N. I completely forgot that Titanic was PG-13 and was one of many with that rating that had more nudity than Mass Effect.
