PlayStations of the Cross

theodp writes "Is there a place amid the witches, warlocks and diabolical monsters for Christian video games? The NY Times reports companies like Brethren Entertainment ('Entertaining for Eternity'), Digital Praise ('Glorifying God Through Interactive Media'), and N'Lightning believe that there is a market in faith-based video games. If the idea of Christian first-person shooters seems unlikely, so too did the idea of Christian pop music, which accounted for 7% of the total pop-music market and sold 43+ million albums last year."

  1. Crusades by austad · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm looking forward to a game, we'll call it Crusades: Kill the Heathens.

    You could run around and try to convert people, and when they won't give up all of their beliefs and conform to something they've never heard of, you can kill them.

    I know it's not realistic though, that would never happen in real life.

    So, when do we get the hentai game based on Lot and his daughters?
