Isuka and God

So. Brazier keeps going on at me for weeks/months about finding out when Guilty Gear Isuka is coming out on the Xbox. So I trek out onto the net to find bugger all about it in the UK at all.

On another note I was compelled to check out Christian Gaming Reviews' review of Resi 4. They awarded it 77%. If you fancy a huge laugh then check out their opinions on most games. They have an interesting way of reviewing things. First they look at and score games on their technical merit just like Gamespot, Edge or indeed yours truly. Games are nicely rated out of 10 for graphics, sound, control, gameplay and lifespan just like most other review sites. However then they move to the appropriateness. This is essentially examining the game from a 'christian' perspective (i.e. worried mother mode) with a fine toothcomb. The game is then rated for violence, language, sex, occult, and ethics. The more of each of these in the game the lower the score. The technical and appropriateness scores are then added to form the final score. If you have a bit of free time then I'd suggest you go over there and check it out. There really are some surprisingly objective opinions there (for a christian site).
A well written review, but I personally disagree entirely. Resident Evil 4 is a work of art, especial beacuse the dying Gamecube is starving for games like this. While i do agree it is innaproate for the young ones, those 14 and up should run out and purchase this amazing title!


Unfortunately there are also the hardcore christians (or republicans as we know them) always hanging about.
I want to encourage you in the persecution you may suffer for taking such a bold stand for the faith. You are a credit to this site, and the faith. God bless you, and yours.

And there's always the Christian Gaming Alliance if you fancy picking a fight.
