well done Tarryn. Nice article the last one is a white supremacist's propaganda though.

And Left Behind is religious propaganda. :P They're still games, though.

Left Behind isn't about killing non-Christians 'just because'. It's about converting them and using them to kill the Antichrist and his organisation.

It's based on a series of books about Christians who weren't quite good enough to go to heaven when the Rapture came but who are now 'born again'. I guess people don't remember when the books were super popular in the late 90's.

I'm not going to criticize it, for the same reason you don't, but suffice as to say that it is equally as offensive to most Christians as it is to atheists and people of other religious groups.

Jam, I'm well aware of that, as well as the optional conversion gameplay. Of course, I'd consider the conversion angle just as reprehensible. Moreover, the legions of Satan include musicians? I mean, honestly. Didn't we left that ridiculous heavy metal moral panic in the 80s?

I remember when this game was released and caused quite the ruckus. But just as offensive to most Christians is still offensive, isn't it?

The only criticism I have is the overall focus on sexual games and rape. Yes I understand it's an atrocity that struggles to find an equal but I was really surprised Postal 2 was not included. @Tarryn+Jam I agree with both points, it's just as offensive to Christians and non-christians, me being the former.

Btw what is up with the article pic and thumbnail for it? On the thumbnail (on the right hand sidebar) the girl's shirt does not expose any skin on her chest and on the actual article pic it does but is covered by the black stripe.

Some true whackjobs out there alright... and I'm not exactly a saint either but these "games" are dabbling in matters far in excess of their "game" monikers.

Whatever happened to the time when the worst thing which could happen from too much pacman was to end up sitting up sitting in the dark, listening to repetitive music, eating pills and seeing ghosts everywhere.

The article images are literally identical. They probably just appear different due to the caption being plastered across it in the article view.
