Games are getting more and more specialized!
Article

"The target audience ranges from Christian gamers eager for new thrills to teenagers and
20-somethings who have never picked up a Bible, said Emmerich, a software engineer who
attends Circle Church of Christ in Corvallis."

"...players sport the armor of God, the best weapon is a ball of holy energy known as
a "smite,' and demon-possessed Roman soldiers drop to their knees in prayer when they're
hit.'

Sounds like DiabloIII to me?

Kill all infidels! Burn the heretics! And don't forget to rape their women!

Isn't The Doom games all Christian games since all you do is kill demons?

As a Chrstian:

CHrstian games suck

as a Gamer

Christian games suck

You'd think they'd try hard I mean it's ok to make a bad game if it has nothing to do with our Lord and savior but if a Game with our Lord and savior sucks? That's just
a Bad EGM review is the worst of your problems

And when the Christian right has to resort to recruiting (or as they refer to it, "saving") members through video games, you can tell they're getting desperate.

I kinda think a game based on the Old Testament would be pretty cool since it would involve tons of warring factions, biological weapons and magic curses that cause cancer. I mean, look how cool the SMT and Persona series are and they are stuffed with Judeo-Christian (along with tons of other cultures) religious references. People just waste time making games about going to church or helping animals get on the Ark.

Also people make religious games for the same reason they make hentai games; there's a market that will pay money for them no matter how crappy they are.

Exactly. I don't see why these Christian game designers bother with this "convert the demons with your love power" crap when paladins, crusaders, and priests are all very popular in MMORPGs and Judeo-Christian mythology has been popular in numerous console games (SMT, Xenogears, Castlevania).

Wouldn't it make more sense to just inject some Christian values into a game about hunting vampires or demons? I don't see why a game has to be completely devoid of conflict in order to be Christian. The Bible certainly isn't devoid of conflict. Or gore, for that matter. I've seen a lot of Christian guilds in Warcraft, Ragnarok Online, and other online games, usually playing as some form of holy warrior or benevolent healer, so there's obviously some sort of market for this sort of game.

Makes sense but normally it seems that in the zeal of making a "good, wholesome form of entertainment" alot of christian developers ignore the fun factor. This probably has some to deal with negative vibes from other christians. As previously stated, most vampire hunters are christians or funded by the church but the genre gets shunned by the concept of being too violent and the fear of being looked down upon is too much.

Somewhere a while back, Insert Credit did a short piece on christian videogames.

A religious hentai game would make tons of money. The bible is loaded with sex and rape so this is makable.

Anyone remember that XBOX game some company was going to make that was supposedly about some dude that took on various roles throught the Bible? You could take light and dark paths (One of the light path levels supposedly had you playing as the Jesus) and at the end you could play one o the four horsemen and either assist with the destruction of earth to make way for a new one or you could choose to rebel and keep earth the way it is.

Yeah, it porbably got shot down for bordering on blasphemy, but it would have made one hell of a concepy, especially the end of the world bit.

I don't think it was a joke, either. I remember it looking very authentic, with some really kickass concept art (The horseman had this really basass energy blade thingy). Even if it is a joke, I wish I knew where to look for it again.

EDIT: I found it! And it's still in the works!

The SMT series is wonderfully anti-Christian, though they should have replaced Dante with Jesus in SMT3. Just give Dante and beard and die his hair brown, keeping everything else the same.

You must have DNS issues or something because all the pics on the site work for me and on the sidebar it has an entry that was made in April from an interview with a French XBOX site.

You can learn more about Eon of Tears by reading an interview with the www.xbox-quebec.com website (french only).

I have the same issues with the site http://www.sonic-cult.org the latest news article that appears for me was posted in January, but I keep hearing that it's updated all the time. I still don't know how to fix it.

Yeah, CulT's still up... just checked it on this college computer I just used to post this message.
