gamers: leave us alone...



Psychologist Cooper Lawrence went on a Fox News program, and ranted about the “full digital nudity and sex” featured in the Mass Effect video game, for the Xbox 360. Turns out that there isn’t any full digital nudity and sex in the game.

Sounds like Cooper didn't actually play the video game she was denouncing - or at least check her facts beforehand. And gamers went wild. Her book soon saw more than 500 one star reviews on Amazon. It got so out of hand, that Amazon had to intervene. Gamer's revenge. Sweet.

Who cares if there's full digital nudity in a game anyhow? Unless it's completely concealed from parents in reviews and packaging, I think people should be able to play games with content they choose. And I'm not a teenage boy, either :) I'm the 45 year old mom of teenage boys. I'd rather they looked at the nudity than shoot people all day like they currently do. We should take a lesson from the europeans regarding sex vs violence in media.
