watch how she gets owned, when he asks her wheter she played mass effect..

Yea geoff was right on, you don't just answer a yes or no question if you want to see the sex scene, you have to invest time into it to get it. Also, to be fair, there isn't that much nudity in it either. It just bothers me that these anti-games activists are so very misinformed on these things, and come off looking incredibly ignorant in the process.

On a side note, considering how little these anti-games people seem to actually know about the games, it makes you wonder how much the other people they bring on these shows (for things I have less knowledge of) actually know what they are talking about.

Thank you for posting the link.

i love how people think games are bad for kids. its bad for a game to have a 2 minute sexal content scene (not full nudity) but its okay for tv shows to have action, commercials with bikini girls all over, movies and books to have a lot of action and a whole bunch of sexual content. i mean come on, this people label games from the start as bad for kids which is so stupid. people dont realize that games are the same thing as books, movies and everything and thats why its called the media. a book can influence kids as much as games can. and if they actually use their haids their is a place called parental control on the systems. adults are just getting more retarded every day.

what on gods green earth would posess that ***** to say that it deservers a AO rateing!

people at the esrb need to have there heads examond.

yea... i think she dose.

it's kinda messed up how that guy on the panel at the end said "at the end of the days it's up to the parents to monitor what the kids are viewing" and the girls was like "yup, it's a shame but it's true". basicly she said it's a shame the she has to take responsabilitie for her own children and become involved in there lives...WTF IS WRONG W/ YOU!!

p.s. don't let fox news know that the game came from canada....they will have a field day w/ that!

geoff got it right and the girl has no right to talk about a game that way that she never played

He owned her? She was goign to be owned but fox wanted their opinion out so they shut him up. Then they go sit around their little table and talk bad about it. All four of them there are on the same side, how is that even a vallid discussion? How are they alloud to put such a thing on television and make it look liek its news? This really goes beyond me, we dont have fox in my country but I heared it's bad and now I see why.

The thing that really got me pissed was that women saying that children would play their dads games while they are away. If they had a vallid didcussion then someone from the gaming community would be there telling them that such a thing is impossible with theparents controle on the xbox. They even mentioned it in th beginning but made sure that parents forgot about it near the end. That must have been the worst television I've seen all year, make that two years because 2008 has just begon.

where is the parental lock on this?

Anti-gaming propoganda, pure and simple. Notice how very little mention of the 'M' rating (kids should not be playing it), or anything about the Xbox 360's parental control features. One said something like "Dad's not home, I"ll play his games!" Well, parental control features kinda stop that dead. Nice research, Fox.Brig123

They did their research. They just realised that the only way they could win this one was by hidding facts and just letting their opinion get 90% of the air time.

It's frustrating to watch... they have no idea what they're talking about. Very biased. People will watch them and take their word for it. They were completely wrong with everything they said. Everytime they made a statement, I was talking to my screen trying to explain it... bah, they are on TV saying whatever they want, they have no idea. That pisses me off.ag1002

Man I felt the same exact way. It really was unfair the way everyone was against Geoff and they just cut him off when he was making perfect sense. It would've been better if he was sitting there at their little table instead of via satellite. I just wish there was something we as gamers could do about this injustice... very frustrating...

I personnally believe that this is a near perfect example of how FOX News covers nearly all issues.

Aside from that, does anyone have a link to the U of Maryland game study cited by the "psychology expert" (note: not a psychologist or psychiatrist) in this debate? All I could find was a pay-per-article web-site, and it just isn't that important to me.

Ok, THIS is stupid. Its from the US right?

1) I have studied psychology here in germany and i never found ANY statement about seeing a blue bottom would be damaging for the developement for a boy or girl below 17. In fact it seems typical for the U.S. that you can have games like GoW where you chainsaw people and nobody says anything about it, but as soon as you see an alien butt in a movie sequenz they start arguing where this whole industry is heading towards.

Notice how they hid the "b***cr*ck" of the alien girl? Do they really think a little child has never seen anything like that before? Every hollywood movie i watched has kisses and love scenes in it more than 100 times more explicit than in this game and those films are for kids.

Its just strange how prude a country (you know what i mean) can react as soon as nudity is involved. Hell, you can see nippl*s in the shower ads at 8 am in the morning.

2 )Another point was, that she said it was easy to get on that webpage and to see those "pornographic" mass effest scenes for kids. Well, if she lets her kid use the web on its on, shes in for a muchmuch bigger problem ... theres pron all over it! And this time, its not only a naked b*tt.

3) The biggest problem (and no real psychologist or scientist would ever do that) is making a statement about something he has not fully looked at. THAT is the major problem. Most people just think their opinion counts because they have one :) If its based on facts or if its based on rumors doesnt count for them.

4) Deal with it, most children have had sex already with the age of 15 and m*sturbated to stuff more explicit than that already for a long time.

please note: i could have made my points much more clear, but my english kinda lacks, so sorry about that

VIDEO GAMES ARE DESTROYING TEH KIDZZZZZZZ. ZOMG1

On Fox News, a surefire indicator that you are winning the argument is when you get cut off.

That was sooo funny, in britain the game got a 12 rating American journalist are all comedians surely

In mass effect it takes You at least 5 hours downtime to see a blue girls ass, I could leave my house right now and in 20 minutes have has sex with a random girl.

This may reflect on how amazing i am/or more likely the fact that england has such a highrate of teen pregnancy and underage sex (although as im sixteen its no longer underage)
