They're advertising the LEFT BEHIND: ETERNAL FORCES, as the no blood game. LOL

They are also going out of their way to minimize this as a violent game:

Because our game is a ‘strategy' game, never does a player click a key or press a button to actuate a first-person violent act. Instead, control is managed by the player in much the same way as an animated chess game would be when pieces fight for position, except that in ‘real-time' strategy games, many pieces fight for position at the same time.

In Left Behind: Eternal Forces, the players' objective is to find ‘tribulation clues', which include Bible mysteries, codes and fascinating and eternally relevant information. In the initial missions, there is little emphasis on physical warfare and gamers are introduced to powers of influence which result in a battle for the hearts and minds of people. As missions progress, there are no ‘objectives' to cause war physically. However, physical warfare results when the player is required to defend against the physical forces of evil; led by the Global Community Peacekeepers.

I got to play a demo of this game and I must say, I did a lot of killing of the Anti-Christ which I suspect were a lot of Jews, Muslims, etc. Yee Haw!

The game is rated T which means : Content may be suitable for persons ages 13 and older. May contain violent content, mild or strong language, and/or suggestive themes.

You'd think if this game was as mild as they'd like you to believe it would be rated E which means: Content may be suitable for persons ages 6 and older. May contain minimal violence and some comic mischief or crude language.

Why is it rated T? Because there is killing and whole bunch of it. If there was blood it would easily be rated M which means: Content may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. May contain mature sexual themes or more intense violence or language.

It's kind of like a bare breast kicking a movie from PG to R.

The hypocrisy of the people advocating this game is simply astonishing. In their world it's horrible if I were to kill someone in the Grand Theft Auto game, but it's peachy Keen to kill somebody who doesn't believe in Christ in their game.

Here's a funny and dead on clip from the Daily Show about this game:

"The violence in our video game is more of a spiritual warfare kind of violence." -Robilyn Lyndon, Co-founder Left Behind Games

When a big corp excises something liberal (a book, an ad, a documentary), they're fast to say, "it's only censorship if it's the government that does it."

Goose, gander, etc.

I'll be much more pleased when it's available everywhere but is a retail failure because of how poorly it's made.
