Video game biz converting to Christianity
Oh good, this will be very helpful to all the parent out there who just discovered that the violence and crime filled game they bought for their kids (since it was only rated M for Mature after all) could possibly be modified to contain sex (gasp!) as well.
Seriously though, I don't know why we need Christian games any more than any other games. It's not like there aren't non violent, non sexual games already out there, they're just not as popular. Especially when the guy in the article says it's just about making good games, they don't want to preach to anyone. Well then why do they need to be Christian, necessarily? Just make good games, and focus on that and don't worry about whether they're Christian or not. Not that I have anything against people playing them if they want to. But if theyre basing them on the Left Behind books, that's a mistake. I read the first one, and that one at least, really sucked.

The guys who wrote that series should be prosecuted for crimes against literature. Who the hell introduces one of their main characters as "34-year-old virgin Buck Williams"? And Rayford Steele? Leon Fortunato? Come on, people, let's put a little creativity into naming our characters.
They can share a cell with Dan Brown after the trial.
I was at least entertained by Brown's books. Left Behind was poorly written AND boring.
In my view based on only reading the first one, they were unreadable.
And I think you hit the nail on the head about preaching to the choir. No one is going to read those and be encouraged to live any differently.
Does this mean I have to make my 6 year old stop playing "Simpson's Road Rage?"
Of course not, The Simpsons iare cool. And so is road rage.
