"This game immerses children in present-day New York City -- 500 square blocks, stretching from Wall Street to Chinatown, Greenwich Village, the United Nations headquarters, and Harlem. The game rewards children for how effectively they role play the killing of those who resist becoming a born again Christian. The game also offers players the opportunity to switch sides and fight for the army of the AntiChrist, releasing cloven-hoofed demons who feast on conservative Christians and their panicked proselytes (who taste a lot like Christian)."
The dialogue includes people saying, "Praise the Lord," as they blow infidels away."The designers intend this game to become the first dominionist warrior game to break through in the popular culture due to its violent scenarios and realistic graphics, lighting, and sound effects. Its creators expect it to earn a rating of T for Teen. How violent is that? That's the rating shared by Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory, a top selling game in which high-tech gadgets and high-powered weapons - frag grenades, shotguns, assault rifles, and submachine guns -- are used to terminate enemies with extreme prejudice."

Wow... sooner or later the left will find a way to blame that on bush too...
Reminds me of "Billy Graham's Bible Blaster," which can now actually be played as a flash game on the Simpson's Home Page: http://www.thesimpsons.com/characters/home.htm
You have to click on the Rod Flanders file.
Here's the bit of dialogue:
Rod: Keep firing; convert the heathens!
Bart: Got him!
Rod: No, you just winged him and made him a Unitarian.
Todd: Look out, Bart! A gentle Baha'i!
As for blaming Bush, well, no I blame the generally ridiculously hypocritical Christian culture we live in. That and capitalism. Oh, and I guess I also blame right wing nuts. Oh, and I guess I better not forget the military-industrial complex, or does capitalism cover that?
This reminds me of Color Dreams aka Wisdom Tree, the makers of lousy unlicensed NES games, who eventually realized that they would be more successful as makers of lousy unlicensed Christian NES games.
Their games were generally nonviolent, though. Their heathen-conversion game, Spiritual Warfare, involved throwing "fruits of the spirit" at people until they fell down praying.
