MSNBC has an article on the growing movement of Christian video game developers. In reaction to an industry filled with violence and immoral themes, they feel games can be based more on doing good and increasing one's faith. That's a fantastic idea, lets make games that aren't good. Well, Christian Rock isn't good and it pulls in millions so maybe they got the right idea. What teachings from the Bible could they recreate? First-Person Lashing of J.C.? Abraham killing his son? Red Sea platform jumping? Killing the first-born time trials? Taking thy brother's wife after you stoned him to death?
Nope, nothing even that fun. here's a quote, and I sh1t Thee not.
“I play a lot of Christian video games,” Tolin said. “They don’t have fights. You just have to follow Jesus and pick up little crosses for points.”
Speechless... so at best, we'll have Katamari Jesus. I think playing that game for an hour would drive me to commit a violent crime.
