Around 100 different Wal-Mart Supercenters in Texas have been selling Christian-based video games by developer, Left Behind Video Games. The success of sales encouraged the corporation to expand the sales in various Wal-Mart stores throughout the country.
Typically, I write about games that are violent and graphic, so why would I write about christian-based games? Well, I find them to be equally as controversial as the "bad" ones. I feel like if there are going to be religious video games to be sold at retailers, all religions should be covered, i.e. jewish games, ilsamic games, buddist games, etc. If we are allowed the right to freedom of religion, national chains should not back a specific one. It shows bias and discrimination to a certain level. Therefore, I have no problem with the development of religion-based video games, however I do have a problem with Wal-Mart supporting the sales of Christian games specifically.
