Games for Christians! (unbelievable)

I give christianity a game review rating of 60%.

Christianity is a passable fantasy RPG, with amusing main characters,
but ultimately, the outdated design, very repetitive gameplay and
lack of critical upgrades really lets it down. A cult classic.

Additionally, the game periodically asks you if you want to purge officers. If you do, you lose the services of valuable officers (following the typical bourgeois line) but if you don't conduct purges, the "dissent" in the country rises! (Dissent leads to revolt) This is accurate since Stalin was trying to purge traitors, fear-mongers, and rabble-rousers in order to prevent large internal strife in the USSR.

What a load of revisionist jerks!

Wario Ware:

Cultural/Moral/Ethical: 12 out of 20
Game portrays rebellion against established cultural norms (-3 pts)
Game is filled with gross humor (-5 pts)

Neverwinter Nights:

One plus is that parents can take away the blood in the game and password-protect it. However, you will still see the corpses and will still hear creatures make a dying noise when they die.

Starcraft: glorifies violence
Quake 3: Satanic motives and the presence of Jesus
Finding nemo: lost two points on "Disrespect for family authority"

I think these reviewers really have to get things in perspective.

To form a healthy, balanced view of fantasy and the real world, kids have to be exposed to games etc...Because they will anyway.

These do-gooders are stunting their own brood's mental development with this syrup-coated protectionism junk.

From the Civ 3 review

Some Christians might be disturbed by the fact that the developers dated the game by Evolutionary standards. It gives you the option to choose how old you want the earth to be (3, 4, or 5 million years old).

That made me laugh

I wonder what rating would Fallout 1 & 2 get(I know, not so modern games); I really adored these series.

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

rm thats also a great find. I was cracking up at their review on Red Alert.

 

[Longasc]

I guess Fallout would end up in HELL!


Do you remember the "bloody mess" trait that made all your enemies die in the worst possible way...?

You're funny.
I'd agree to lack of upgrades, but to what extent are they required, given that it's still growing?
Repetitivity... see Tetris.

To form a healthy, balanced view of fantasy and the real world,

You said it!

scantly clad women - a big NO NO!

reminder to these extreme christians, God made Adam and Eve, and not Adam and Steve, or just Adam for a reason!

Are you sure these reviews are serious?

Btw, where is Jesus in Quake 3??

 

[puglover]

I have to admit, some of these are quite silly. Not that morally reviewing games is a bad idea.

 

[CurtSibling]

Morals are a good idea.

But since when did religion have a monopoly on morals?

........

 

[punkbass2000]

Since when hasn't it? It certainly tends to do a good job of crushing the competition...

 

[~Corsair#01~]

Religion doesn't control morals, it just presents a stronger reason for following them.

When you have the reigns of power via treachery, you can indeed make your tenure much easier.

But people can just easily learn right and wrong without religion.

When a child is getting warned about stealing or swearing, do you think every parent demands an prayer session?

Some might, but most won't.

Well, I guess we're probably discussng diferent things really. I think perhaps you're referring to morals in an absolute, abstract sense. I mean religion has a monopoly on societal values.

Well, it obviously hasn't, at least where I'm from.

So the ten commandments have no influence on the law system? Beyond that, the ones included in the ten commandments seem to generally be considered more important, even indirectly, than those that are not. A child gets fined for jay-walking and I bet the parents aren't too concerned. A child gets fined for theft, and I bet they're a lot more worked about it.

Oh, and just so we're clear, we I say "monopoly", I don't mean complete and total. Like I would say Microsoft has a monopoly on the computer industry, even though there is competition. I'm sorry if this offends your linguistic tendencies
