EA vs Fox: G4's Adam Sessler Weighs in and Amazon Book Reviews

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.

The Amazon.com reviews of Cooper's book are pretty funny too ;) Her new book she tried to promote with her 'stunt' on FOX news received 21 1-star reviews so far (there were more some time ago, but Amazon took down most of them).

Thank you Adam for putting this self righteous woman back in her place. She uses the negative aspect in a video game to help promote her book and I for one am glad to see her burnt for it. It was funny to look at amazon 39% of the people that looked at the page where you could buy her book bought it, 20% went to buy no more heroes and 17% went on to buy a 12month live gold card, but having never read her book I will assure everyone out there that Adam is right and it absolutely blows. I personally can't wait for her next book even though she hasn't made it yet I'm sure it will suck too.

I have to give Adam props for that one. There's nothing like the power of well-placed sarcasm when you're feeding someone their own bullshit.

That was funny. I saw the original clip just now and I can't believe what they were saying. They talked like it was a porno, then vented about how video games are too violent and have too much sexual content.

Having watched 6 or so episodes of the new show they're calling x-play, I officially called the show dead. It's clear that Comcast decided they knew what was best, and stopped the last TechTV show from doing what it does ever so well. I knew it was dead after they gave a raving preview about how amazing a Dragonball Z game was going to be and then made a weak joke about Vegeta being angry. Where's the pessimistic criticism that I've loved since the days of Gamespot TV?

For two brief minutes, they let him free, and oh how he entertained.

Nice job, Adam. Next step is to get Fox shut down so these lies can stop. Their biased and unresearched claims need to stop.

Fox News just corrected themselves on this issue about 15 min. ago.  It was quick, basically they had a quote from the lady who wrote the book.  The lady apologized for saying what she said about the game.  Orginally when she made the incorrect statement about the game she was acting on hearsay from other people.  After seeing the game she said it is no worse than sex seens on TV shows like "Lost".

I loved the game and have absolutely no problem with it.  The thing that I found completely ridiculous is you spend basically the entire game killing humans, aliens, and whatever else, yet the media attacks the 'love scene' aspect of it.    What are we coming to as a human race?

Youve just highlighted a major problem with Media/News TV using the Internet as there sources. Basically don't believe everything you see on TV just like on the Internet. Always get your news from multiple sources and if something sounds to good to be true, it's probably a load of ****.
