What happened to good, wholesome games where you just tried to kill everyone?

G4 host Adama Sessler gives his opinion on the whole Fox News/Mass Effect imbroglio in this clip from a recent episode of X-Play. He presents the facts with much more aplomb and fairness than Fox did, but in the end turns the tables to give the network and author Cooper Lawrence a taste of their own medicine. Although Lawrence has since apologized for her missteps, it's still fun to watch Sessler take her and the dubious Fox News to task."
It's always sad when FOX News interviews people in the gaming industry, because you know it will end up a mess. Recently FOX interviewed gaming journalist Geoff Keighley and a psychology 'expert' about the "nudity", "sex scenes" and "objectifying of women" in Mass Effect, and although Geoff sets the record straight and brings up some good points, both psychologist and interviewer don't seem to take him seriously.
But let's face it, this is FOX News ... what were we expecting?
Singapore's MDA (Media Development Authority) recently banned Mass Effect for the 'inappropriate' alien lesbian sex scene, but soon after they recanted an unbanned it again. So what's up with Singapore's MDA? A guess is that they are trying to seem "cool" to the younger generations ... Why else would they make rap videos about how "creative" they are?
... Now why can't all country's authorities be more like this?
BioWare Corp has started releasing character spotlight videos for Mass Effect, the first of which has hit the web. In this first video we'll see a little of the Normandy's pilot, a Krogan battle master, an Alliance Captain and some other characters.
Some behind the scenes stuff from mass effect, it's shaping up to be a great game!
