There is an article about Christian Video Games today at Yahoo! News. These are apparently games that "have drawn a loyal following by combining biblical themes with mild action".
If memory serves, there were a lot of horribly violent acts committed in the name of religion. Does repackaging your violent game to adopt a "Christian" theme earn you a first-class ticket to hell, or have you redeemed it and yourself because now you have taught children that violence is ok when you're absolutely certain that you are right?
There are a lot of puzzle games and other non-violent and amoral games on the market. Perhaps these games would benefit from marketing them as "Christian"? Would it be useful to have a symbol for games that marks them as "Kosher" for Christians? (grin)

I wonder which has more marketing clout, labeling as "Christian" or labeling as "Explicit"? Then of course, there's the question of what happens if you label something as both...
Some humor ;-)

When you get nailed by another player or monster, what do you say?
Christian game: "Jesus Christ!"
Explicit game: "F--k!"
Explicit Christian game: "Jesus F--kin Christ!"
Now ask yourself, which version of the game would you play?
ROFL
David, nicely done.
Ideas for "Explicit Christian" titles:
Sodom and Gomorrah IV,
Revelations Revisited,
Rainbox Six: Missionaries
Perhaps you are thinking of BIlly Graham's Bible Blasters?
