After her appearance on Fox News' Live Desk (see our previous article EA Asks Fox News For Mass Effect Clarification), and her condescending attitude, and false characterizations of BioWare's Mass Effect, Cooper Lawrence lit a fire under many gamers seats, leading many to hop onto Amazon.com and post poor reviews of her new book, "The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace With Your Inner Overachiever", even though many admitted to never reading the book.

Cooper Lawrence recently spoke with Seth Schiesel at the New York Times, saying "I recognize that I misspoke. I really regret saying that, and now that I've seen the game and seen the sex scenes it's kind of a joke.

Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it's like pornography. But it's not like pornography. I've seen episodes of 'Lost' that are more sexually explicit."

BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka told Schiesel "We're hurt. We believe in video games as an art form, and on behalf of the 120 people who poured their blood and tears into this game over three years, we're just really hurt that someone would misrepresent the game without even playing it. All we can hope for is that people who actually play our games will see the truth."
