Hey, with so many people having an opinion about this game, how many have actually played it? And what credibility do they have? Focus on the Family has publications which can set the record straight for everyone…at http://www.pluggedinonline.com/thisweekonly/a0002989.cfm.

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 http://www.leftbehindgames.com/pages/controversy.com

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.

Bruce, there’s always a lower rating. .5. 0. -1!!!1! LOL!!!1!

I once had a serious discussion with someone from Gamespot who thought they should erode ratings over time because, you know, five year old games aren’t as good as ones from today. So that 9.8 for Half-Life would be an 8.1 today, or whatever, because it’s only as good as, I don’t know, F.E.A.R.

I think that’s an awesome idea.

Maybe this will help.

Oh wait, technology can’t save bad design. But at least their pathfinding might be a little better next time around!
