EA have laid into Fox New’s ‘reporting’ on Mass Effect, claiming it shows “full digital nudity and the ability for players to engage in graphic sex.” (if it does, i missed a section of that game!).

However, my lovely boss was kind enough to let me crash the party and hear him do the after dinner talk (plus a bunch of impressions), the q&a, and get a photo… I had to bring Mr. Flibble along …
