This is utterly rediculous, if I had ads popping up while gaming I am shipping the game right back, maybe with some chalk dust and give them an anthrax scare.

Heck, is this even LEGAL?

Obviously the game is so bad, that no one will buy it. Their only revenue source is adware.

It will be interesting to see how many "megachurches" they can convince to distribute a game that encourages you to blow away non-believers.

By the way, there game is real in case people are thinking it's a joke. There is a preview on Gamespot.

I will never buy this game why because im a non reliogus

Sounds like the kind of thing we discussed in the "Why are so many people killed in the name of Jesus" thread. People will wield good messages to further idiocy. That game is a joke.

I thought this game was a dumbass hate-harboring video game video before the spyware. Now it's a dumbass hate-harboring video game sponsored by Isrealites. And PronceScamp, please don't send chalk dust; send talcolm powder.

I think you guys should put some words to the effect that you are just joking.

from Double Fusion
"All Double Fusion campaigns provide detailed campaign reporting for full accountability, and, unlike other media, advertisers only pay for the time their ads are seen...unlike TV, unlike the web, and unlike print. No medium is more accountable and measurable in terms of the actual time spent with advertising."

"Double Fusion's In-Game Ad Engine is a software component that gamer developers insert in their games. The Ad Engine is the seamless interface between the game and the advertiser servers, and works as a broker between the two, calling advertising creative elements as needed, providing them to the game to be displayed as ads in the game, and tracking impressions and views and reporting back to the advertising management servers."

BTW, the name of the game is Left Behind:The Game
