Video games have always been citied for their violence and mindlessness, usually by people who don’t play them.
Stray from the "one true path" and you lose
There is an emerging trend of Christian Video games that although far behind the secular games in quality, claim to be free of the moral problems Christians have with games such as Halo and Playboy Mansion.Godspeed the game on our right has the player answering questions on the scriptures and theology correctly in order to stay on the “one true path”. Get those questions wrong and who knows where you’ll end up, but you can take a guess."Victory at Hebron" has you playing a very serious game of cards with your enemies in order to get your prisoners released with as little bloodshed as possible, while other games let you inside your best friend's mind to help him free himself from his demons. (and haven't we all wanted to do that at one time or another?)The games usually rely on older game engines to drive them so their game play is nowhere near the sophistication of any games released this century, but if you find all that sex and violence and interesting game play a turn off, these could be for you.
