Hilarious reviews of video games from a youth ministry
January 5th 2009 09:19
Gamers are chuckling at this site, called Zounds YRM, a place for Christians to find video game reviews that conform with their religious beliefs.
Right away, I'm going to say that this page is a big ol' fake, from the image at the top of the page:
"“U save ur game b4 u die... shouldn't u let Jesus save ur soul b4 u die IRL?”"
Okaaay.... still, it's an entertaining read, even if it is fake. Take the review for Grand Theft Auto IV:
"(Note: I have not played this game since it is rated "M" and isn't allowed on the Fellowship U campus, so I am basing this mini-review on Secular media reports.)
Grand Theft Auto IV is a game designed to brain-wash players into the Atheist worldview. In it you play Nick, an immigrant recently arrived to Liberty City (a copy of New York City) who is tasked with stealing cars and murdering prostitutes. Nick came from a former Communist country where he was brought up in Godlessness and so he sees no problem stealing and murdering. The game touts its ability to let you "go anywhere and do anything you want", the central philosophy of Atheism. It also teaches how to escape from police, instilling in the player the main motivation behind Atheism: avoidance of authority."

The review also points out that the game uses 'rag-doll physics' which is a central tenet of atheism, that bodies are only influenced by physics. Sure!
Really, I hope the site is a fake, since most of the reviews haven't been played, since they are rated M, and games are condemned for promoting homosexuality or godlessness.
The game in question, with threads of homosexuality in them, is Bully, a game that simulates schoolkids and the atrocity of being bullied. I haven't played the game, but I thought it was an excellent feature to include the possibility of homosexuality - after all, it does happen in school, why turn a blind eye? Why fear it?
