If its what I think it is; basically Faux News got a person who has never played the game to talk cheese about it and call it porn. EA responded by citing all the inaccuarcies of the story and demanding an apology. Gamers responded by hammering amazons servers with negative reviews of this persons books, driving the overall score down to the single star range. The person apologized, no idea if Faux did.

The media, where would we be without them?

I really should take my copy of Mass Effect out the box at some point, still not got around to playing it.
