Faith Fighters, a flash-based 2D fighter by Molleindustria, is exactly what its name suggests. You pick a deity (choices include God, Muhammad, Ganesh & Jesus), you get an opponent, you fight to the death, Street Fighter-style. It's goal, according to Molleindustria, is to "push gamers to reflect on how [their] religions and sacred representations are often instrumentally used to fuel or justify conflicts between nations and people".
In the very first episode of vs. Node, Eddie Inzauto and Christos Reid talk about swine flu's videogame debut, a flash game that outraged religious groups across the globe, homosexuality in gaming, and headline topic, sandbox games.
Article introduction: "Trolls - they're the underpass-dwelling cretins you love to hate. In the real world, rudeness can earn you a sock on the jaw, but the anonymity of the net has made aggravation an art form. One cannot help but admire their works; how they stir up bitter arguments, then feign ignorance when their schemes are undone..."
Yesterday, Italian game site Molleindustria took down its 1 year old Faith Fighter parody game offline. This was cause by the pressure from the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). However, less than one day Molleindustria put up a sequel to Faith Fighter.
Not helping with the bad rap that gamers get thank you very much.
