'Convert or die' game divides ChristiansI expect you've heard about this game already, but here's some stuff I didn't know:
Left Behind Games' president, Jeffrey Frichner, says the game actually is pacifist because players lose "spirit points" every time they gun down nonbelievers rather than convert them. They can earn spirit points again by having their character pray.
...
Players can choose to join the Antichrist's team, but of course they can never win on Carpathia's side. The enemy team includes fictional rock stars and folks with Muslim-sounding names, while the righteous include gospel singers, missionaries, healers and medics.

The Rev. Tim Simpson, a Jacksonville, Fla., Presbyterian minister and president of the Christian Alliance for Progress, added: "So, under the Christmas tree this year for little Johnny is this allegedly Christian video game teaching Johnny to hate and kill?"
Thanks to Colby for the linkage.
I'm going to go hide under the bed now.

Since you'll be hiding under the bed, you want me to get your copy for you while I'm getting mine?
Yeah, that would be great. I was trying to figure out how to get a copy without actually buying one, but stealing was the only thing that came to mind.
Can it do internet multiplayer? I'm envisioning some real fun.
"Play multiplayer games as Tribulation Force or the AntiChrist's Global Community Peacekeepers with up to eight players via LAN or over the internet!"
