Cept. You’ll more then likely have to pay for CGD games. Unless they are trying to score more points with their god. Which would more then likely see it given out for free with the new testiment at high schools. Is that even done anymore?

As for being appalled by violence and sex. Have they even read the bible? Cause I have.

Realistically.. This will fit into the “Advergaming” design. But this time they are popularising their chosen religion.

Whatever makes you happy as a game developer I s’pose.

I’m wondering if “Citizen Zero” might march on a merry little crusade through Korea?

I wonder if there was every anything subliminal in that “America’s Cup” game they made for C64, I remember swearing alot, crying out the lords name and playing it on Sundays.

I seem to remember they were the developer without a Beer O’Clock. So I believe this type of move for the company seems to be a natural one.

… then you should read it again, because you missed the context

But my main point is the problem with a “Christian Industry” is that it is a distinction that has nothing to do with making better games, or being Christian. That’s akin to putting a scripture on the handle of a toothbrush and calling it somehow a better toothbrush (this has been done).

Cause I’m sure we’d all like to live a life of joy tendered too like a flock of sheep and told what to believe by Rupert Murdoch or whoever anyway.. But that’s all context BS. Contextually, I feel that, if the gaming world allows for it, violence, sex and the occult should be welcome.

;)

Back on the main topic. Like the toothbrush, or the guy out the front of city hall throwing coins at you with the 10 commandments on them (yeah this happened, because I kissed my GF in public). It’s just another way of advertising.

If anything. I don’t see any new genres coming out. Just the same existing games with certain elements turned down, and themes of course will be christian based. I doubt there will be fundamentalist game, just subtle. I bet I’ll even be tempted to buy one because of the trailer. Will I? Will it have a feature that disables it during Sunday Mass? I’m sure it will be profitable and help them score points in their afterlife, and possibly save some souls.

Maybe what the religion should do is something similar to the OFLC. Get a panel together, and play each game that comes out, and give it a “christian rating”. Therefore, they can put out a recommended gaming list for their flock.
