The ongoing Mass Effect 'sex' saga which kicked off following Fox News Channel's inaccurate drubbing of the RPG has taken a fresh turn.

Now, Fox News Channel wants to invite EA to a live TV debate to talk things over.

It follows the publication of a letter penned by Jeff Brown, EA's vice president of communications, which was sent to Fox.

In the letter, he called out the news channel and asked for an apology over its "reckless" and error-heavy coverage of Mass Effect.

In the error-laden news segment in question, the headline indicated that the game included "full digital nudity and sex", while a voiceover claimed that players could engage in "graphic sex".

"Fox News Channel has extended several invitations to EA through a company representative to appear on Live Desk With Martha MacCallum to discuss Mass Effect and the segment which aired on Monday. We have received no response", Fox News has now said in a statement.

Good. And I hope you don't get a response, Fox. You sure as he** don't deserve one.
