Left Behind Video game
Culture: 'Left Behind' Videogames - Newsweek Periscope - MSNBC.com
This gave me a good laugh. I'm still in shock that it's real. Just what Christians want - "violence on the same level as Grand Theft Auto". Unbelievable.

this is sad and disturbing. I will pray for the youth of that will be targeted in their ads.
This statement is posted from an employee of Left Behind Games on behalf of Troy Lyndon, our Chief Executive Officer.
There has been in incredible amount of MISINFORMATION published in the media and in online blogs here and elsewhere.
Pacifist Christians and other groups are taking the game material out of context to support their own causes. There is NO “killing in the name of God” and NO “convert or die”. There are NO “negative portrayals of Muslims” and there are NO “points for killing”.
Please play the game demo for yourself (to at least level 5 of 40) to get an accurate perspective, or listen to what CREDIBLE unbiased experts are saying after reviewing the game at www.leftbehindgames.com/pages/controversy.htm
Then, we’d love to hear your feedback as an informed player.
The reality is that we’re receiving reports everyday of how this game is positively affecting lives by all who play it.
Thank you for taking the time to be a responsible blogger.
Just want to clarify, sjr. The article I referenced from MSNBC is incorrect in their opinion and the quotes from Troy Lyndon.
I do tend to lean towards groups which are not connected to/with the game, movie, story, etc. and their opinions. I think not being connected makes better critiques (although sometimes I think some critics have their own agendas).
I know I don't appreciate the negative tone of the "Pacifist Christians" statement. Perhaps it wasn't meant to be. Maybe following your own advice and checking into things before making a blanket statement.
sjr, I hope you read the article which I linked to and to which my comments were directed. I will check out the Left Behind game site. BTW - I read all the books.
