If you consider yourself to be a follower of a religion, have you ever thought about how your gaming hobby might clash with the teachings of your prophet/s or god/s? If you’re an atheist, has it ever occurred to you that perhaps turning your back on all such belief systems has allowed you to sidestep a potential moral minefield when playing videogames?

Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
Sort of surprising none of the major religions have discussed this before.
Nearly every game company have shy away from putting any Religions references in there games
If you don`t know what your seeing it`s very easy to fall into a "daze" while watching anything.
For instance in Movies...The Wizard Of Oz, Labyrinth, Pan`s Labyrinth and Alice in Wonderland are almost the exact same story retold.....for good reason, I might add. Same with a Movie called "the man who would be king" get retold alot in Disney movies aswell.
And OFCOURSE myself Hel, is re-created in many ways. Starwars takes concept of Metropolis w/ the Golden Robot and losing a hand and having in replaced by a robotic hand. Also, Beyonce wants to re-create Hel aswell, but alot of people just see it for a performance.

Really interesting article.
Good article. I think most games companies shy away from using religion in games due to the many fanatics out there, who think that the game is an attack on their religion. I'm just waiting on the backlash from the forthcoming new Medal of Honor game which features the Taliban.
