"I recently got a copy of Fremont, California-based Digital Praise's "Guitar Praise" and unboxed it for all the world to see.
Made for the PC/Mac, the game is a Christian-oriented version of Activision's "Guitar Hero" that aims to combine the gameplay of the popular music franchise with Christian values.
I got a chance to play the game to see how it compares to its secular predecessors. A Christian message may be behind it, but does the gameplay and guitar peripheral hold up?"
From Gamertell:
"Digital Praise, the company responsible for the music games Dance Praise and Guitar Praise , has announced a planned merger with Left Behind Games Inc, most well-known for games based on the Left Behind best-selling series of books."
And here come the Hate-bots over a story about two game companies merging because they happen to be Christian studios.

@SilentNegotiator
if you hate free speech so much you should move to a country like iran, there nobody can diz religions(at least the islam)
Hah - games about made up super beings preying on the little guys - but enough about GoW3!
I think this is great - 2 christian companies getting in bed together.... Hey, was lightning outside?

Yes, because me making fun of people debating theism on a video game website means I hate free speech. Excellent deduction, holmes.

I'm shocked he isn't here yet. I guess he went to the Saturday service? :P
called Super Noahs ark. It was a mod of wolfenstien and you were noah shooting feed at animals to make them go to sleep.
My friend had it and you needed to put a real snes game into the top of it for it to work.

Anyways like Bart would say "All the good developers are affiliated with Satan"
lol
I'm glad they are hemorrhaging money, religion has no place in video games... just like in schools.
Well I dunno about you, but I think GoW3 looks frikin cool! >:)
I liked Darksiders too. xP
A good game is a good game. If you dont want to buy the Christian themed game...............then dont buy it. That is why there are different genres of games for different people.
I'm a nonbeliever, but I think religion in games is fine, especially if it's brought up in a secular, academic manner (Bioware does it nicely, as does Irrational Games).
And I also support those mindlessly pro-God games; let the religious idealogues have their own ways to entertain themselves.
I couldn't help but think of a GTA in Jesus form. xD
That sounds so fun.
Especially with a karma system.
Anyway >_>
I think it'd be tight to have some Christian games, wouldn't bother me.
Moar gamez!

Granted, this game does not develop any new concepts. In fact, many secular reviewers have called Guitar Praise a "rip-off," "knock-off" and "copycat" of the original groundbreaking game Guitar Hero. And, in a way, they're right. But what that snarky group seems to be missing-while they smirk at the idea of "Christian rockers with a plastic guitar"-is that the game doesn't have to be radically different from others in this billion-dollar rock guitar genre to be noteworthy. It just needs a little cleanup on aisle nine."
How could a video game feel anything like a surging electric guitar pulsing in your ears or the bass from a kick drum thumping off your chest? It doesn't, and can't. Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero have as much to do with music as MTV does today.
