I want to think this is a hoax or a joke, but I have a horrible feeling it's not:

Only in the United States. Only in the United States. More on this as I find more out.

They aren't a joke but, as garpu said, it still might be vaporware. They've a nice lil website with trailers of the proposed games that haven't worked for a while. All in all, I doubt their ability to produce a high quality, "best selling" PC game. Heck, even 12 year olds can (and do) code crappy PC games.

Still, I'm curious where they are gonna go with this idea and how they could pull off a bizarre Christian video game with killing/murder in the name of God. Talk about taking God's name in vain, Geez.

Thankfully in this case, most Christian-themed video games rarely make it to release, and if they do, they're more of a joke than anything. War in Heaven is one such notable example.

They could try coming out with a Christianized tweak on Sim City ... Feeding the poor, eliminating homelessness and other economic injustices, finding a way to get universal (and *good*) medical coverage and education for everyone. Things like that based on our real values. No, we have to have American evangelical versions of Al-Qaeda, Wahhabis and Jihadis.

If that game does come out in an online gaming version, I hope they have the option of choosing sides. I'd rather be a Catholic or Jew kicking the crap out of them online. ;)

That could be a really cool game. (Or use the Pharoah/Emperor engine) Then again, I'd love to see a Sim U, a university simulation game.

Have you seen this (Sim University)? :)
