Looking for a few game reviews
kingjohn3:
As a Christian, I try to stay away from games that paint a negative picture of Biblical characters or games that are saturated in demonic storylines. That being said, what Action/Adventure & RPG games do you guys recommend for PS1-PS3, Xbox-360 and all Nintendo?
Megatron:
So no religious references or demonic forces...how about murder and mayhem or war? Lots of PS1 JRPGs focus around wars. Some do have magic, which depending on the game may involve fictitious religious acts.
Are you staying totally clear of all religious themes (even fictional religions) and are you accepting of magic/sorcery?
FritzWhite:
I guess that Demon's Crest is out... I would just check the top 100 lists and then check further into the story and characters for any game that seems questionable. I remember when I was 7 years old my mom took away Legend of Zelda because it had magic and someone from her church told her it was demonic. I was so upset!
Another time, I lent Contra 3: Alien Wars to a friend at school and his mom returned it to me also claiming it was demonic (probably because of the red demon face seen on the cover/label and after earth is nuked). My argument was that you played a character in the game that was fighting the demonic forces of evil, making the game ok. I used this same argument to convince my parents to let me play Wolfenstein 3D and Doom for Atari Jaguar.

Don't like GTA type games, fake religions are what they are...fake, don't mind magic,
