"It's the end of the world, the ultimate fight between good and evil. But in this video game world, it's better to pray for your enemies than to shoot them."

OMG I can't wait for Halo 4, the holy wars!

[Man Nub]

lol. Where the:

Papal Fantasy XII?

MMORPG where you get to administrate over arch-bishops, and see who is the holiest among the holy.

Sounds like smart marketing.

Its nothing new over the past 10 years. Are you a singer that can't get a record deal? Well start singing about god. So essentially if you cant get a game published with EA, or some other big name, repackage it with a bible theme. Want to make a cheap knock-off? Take todays hottest game and add god.

I'm going to start selling syringes so you can inject god into anything.

You know what's funny though. God never sold anything. He didn't drive a benz or live in a big house either. I think the bible says give or some nonsence like that.

Evangelicals love the inerrant word of God, except when it comes to making money for church.

i see nothing wrong with it. theres games out there for everyone- drugs, sex, suffocating people with a plastic bag, mark kate and ashley olsen

Obviously you guys missed the "Left Behind" game when it came out.

Laugh yourselves stupid with the readup on it.

Well hopefully the game will be as horridly intolerant and ridiculous as the novels are.

The game makers are Evangelicals? I thought they were the target market?

I hope nobody tells them that they used science to make this game.

When i was growing up i remember they tried this with super Nintendo and sega . the only games i remember were moses' escape from the pharaoh , and a bible trivia game that was kinda like jeopardy. Either way , i say go for it , but i doubt it sells. Because all Christians want to hand out gods wrath to the wicked eventually

I think you just helped me to pen a new term.

"Spiritual Luddite."

Oh come on Xian, you have to admit that the ribbing is pretty well deserved for being a fan of this series.

While I know you aimed the bunt in Xian's direction, I read the whole series and find it fun to read, but know where the disconnect is. It is tough to find good Christian Fiction anymore.
