No, it's not what you think from the thread title. This has been taken from the gamespot.com news section.



Christian gamers getting Left Behind

Real-time strategy game based on the Left Behind novels is descending on the PC.
Left Behind Games today announced that it will be publishing a real-time strategy PC game based on the Left Behind novels. Left Behind: Eternal Forces is appropriately scheduled for release "between Christmas 2005 and Easter 2006." Left Behind Games was established in 2001, and it aims to bring morally just and family-friendly games to the masses.


The game is set after the Rapture has taken the faithful up to heaven. Satan's forces are slowly taking over the world, slowly bending countries to their will. As part of the rebel Tribulation Forces, gamers will fight in apocalyptic battles in New York City.

Eternal Forces crosses over from the series of novels written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The Christian books have sold more than 63 million copies across the world, and the first two novels were adapted into films starring Growing Pains actor Kirk Cameron.

I was going to post this but I just never did. Something kept holding me back. I like to point out some things.

-A release date that has to be announced between Christmas 2005 and Easter 2006 sounds interesting and strange....

-The kind of game it is, what the game is about, and their goal of making it family-friendly make me think it won't get complaints about video game violence or complaints from mothers. Theres just that thing to it.

^You forgot to add "Satan's forces are slowly taking over the world" which comes a little after aims to bring morally just and family-friendly games to the masses.

I can't wait to fly a plane into a building full of Satan's forces...</sarcasm>

I wonder if the violence in the game (because there will be violence!) will be considered righteous violence...
