Question by Ginny R: Christian game reviews for MMORPG?
I’m looking for a website that has reviews for MMORPGs from a Christian perspective. Not Christian-based MMORPGs, but for regular mmorpgs like Ragnarok, Guild Wars.
Anyone know any site like that?
Seems like almost every mmorpgs out there has some form of gods/godesses. Some even force you to pledge loyalty to these deities in order to advance in the game. I’m looking for an mmorpg that doesn’t have any of these.
For those of you who don’t believe me, here’s a sample of a game that forces you to pledge loyalty to a deity:
Elf online – http://elf.happymmo.com/
You can roam around in the land up to level 10, but if you want to have any skill at all beyond that, you have to pledge to some goddess.
And for the record, maybe most people are comfortable with the idea of bowing down before a fake deity. But I’m not. I’ve read enough from the Old Testament to know what happened to all those people who worshipped false deities, sincere or not.

Why do you care about what Christians say about games? They arent game professionals, go to Gamespot or IGN.
Ugh, it’s a video game, please get over it…in any case type in “Christian game reviews”
Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments!
EVE Online doesn’t feature gods, goddesses, or even magic.
Why would you care about fictional material, anyway?
Taking it a bit far aren’t we?
A game is a game last time I checked….
World of Warcraft doesn’t have that I don’t think.
But seriously, it’s just a game! Ragnarok is awesome 🙂
It’s just a game – much like life. Here’s what I found using google : http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=wK3&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=christian+video+game+reviews&spell=1
You don’t have a deity in World of Warcraft…the game is just very addicting
world of warcraft makes you choose a side, the horde or the alliance, but no pledges for gods or godesses are necessary.
i don’t really believe in god… i believe more in science… don’t send some sort of hitman on me please, i keep getting spooked by the divinci code…
It’s not a sacreligious thing in the game, your pledging your “character” to the deity, not yourself.
I doubt God will be dissappointed in you for allowing a 3d model to pledge itself to another 3d model that a team of computer geniuses called a God.
Anybody that does pledge their real lives to an MMO has issues.
Some even force you to pledge loyalty to these deities in order to advance in the game- name ONE
Well, I tried hard, but I couldn’t find video game reviews from a Christian perspective. Might wanna Google that and look deeper. I DID however, find this website. It’s not that great, but check it out anyways.

Christ Centered Game Reviews
It has many reviews from a Christian perspective on allot of games. It may be just what you are looking for.
The killing, maiming, and violence isn’t a problem? Just the god/goddess aspect? I don’t know why I find that funny.
IT’S JUST A GAME.
