NOTE: IF YOU ARE SUPER CHRISTIAN DO NOT READ BELOW..... Ok anyone for a good laugh and something to argue about go to www.almenconi.com. They review games and stuff on a christian perspective.

Metroid Prime: 73% C.
I guess enemies exploding in bursts of light is too gory, haha

Haha.
"Diablo 2 lives up to the legacy started with the original Diablo and remains rife with occult magic and murder. The Bible warns us to have nothing to do with the Devil in any of his names. Diablo 2 earns a score of 19% (F)"
"As expected, some of the cartoonish females wear reveling clothing. I also find it interesting that females can fight in thongs but I rarely see male fighters dress so inappropriately."
How exactly is that game violent? The blood looks like tomato sauce and you can barely see the people anyway. Seriously...
"10-19% (F)These games will be more severe then the 20's level, which entails having more violence, language, sexual content, and occult content. Again, the only game reviewed this low was Diablo II, which contained more violence than the original and quite a bit more occult material."
There're a LOT of games that are WAY more violent than Diablo II.

...and you wonder why I'm an atheist....
Heres their stance on Yu-Gi-oh
"Clearly Yugioh is simply another in a series of Japanese economically inspired 'spend money to collect cards under the theme of a game with collateral support by low-budget cartoons'. While I believe strongly that most all world centered entertainment have darkness as an attraction, and there may be evil intents here as well, I think the prime motivation is economic. The Japanese have found a hot button to drain cash from American families"
That's right kids, according to these fucktards the Japanese are "out to get our money" with imported things. Ummm no rascist closeminded fool, it never accured to you that to some Japanese imports give them pleasure SO THAT THEIR MONEY IS WORTH IT? Lemme guess Ramen Noodles are poisoned as they must another diabolical plot of the dirty japs. He probably thinks all Sushi is raw fish. Plus Anime is UNPOPULAR with the exception of DBZ, Pokemon, and to a lesser extent, Yu-Gi-Oh Anime is more of a "cult following"
"One of the most popular movies of the summer was the teen gross-out flick American Pie. It is the story of four high school seniors who make a pact to lose their virginity before they graduate. It has some of the crudest sex and masturbation jokes ever on screen. Motion picture reviewers couldn't believe how prurient the theme but still gave it a highly recommended review. Some of the sexual situations were so offensive I can't even mention them. That's how bad it was!"
That leads me to believe that he would probably say something like this in his younger years
"OH MY LORD yesterday I want to an Abistance Teen Rally and it was SO RAD!! We stayed up to 10 O'clock1!!And then these really great Christian rock bands came to play and WOW they were SO GOOD every song sounded the same, but that's okay, they don't need talent, they'll sell as long as they mention God a couple times! I want to be JUST LIKE THEM and do something eaquily useless for society, but I'll still be respected because it's CHRISTIAN! I know I'll make a website and bash things I know nothiong about! THAT WILL BE SO RAD!!"
"Now if we stand up and say we don't approve of this lifestyle, what happens? That's right, the media and many in the public will call us bigots, homophobes, and racist Christians (to many, these terms are redundant). In effect, we either conform to their belief system as taught by the entertainment media, or become ostracized by society. The pressure is on to approve of their way of life."
Oh you poor thing you must have it so tough/. Well FUCK YOU no matter what you say homosexuality is NOt accepted in our society, I can't count the number of times I get made fun of in a day you little shit. How DARE you say that you have it worse of than homosexuals you have no idea what it's like to constantly feel unwelcome, People like YOU make life harder for people that have done you no harm, that's not what christianity is about. Believe it or not Homosexuals HELP SOCIETY, just by being gay, your keeping the population under control yet not killing anyone, not to mention the fact that the crime ratios in homosexuals is MUCH lower than that of the ratio in heterosexuals, what do YOU do for society? Sit on your ass making a website that voices your opinions that arn't supported by fact? Brainwash our youth into only believing what YOU feel is right? No I'm sorry, sir you are completely USELESS.
Remember kids, Hitler was christian...

Well I emailed the bastard today and below is what I said. SNK you should do the same.
To whomever this may concern,
Hello, I would like to say a couple things about your site. It has accorded to me that you seem to think that by making money is a bad thing. This most recently came up in your Yu-Gi-Oh discussion. How else do you think people can make a living? Do you seem to think we all should be non-profit companies? If that is so, how many ordinary people will agree with you? If there was no purpose to make money, then who would sell food in grocery stores? Probably no one. If that is so then I am guessing you would grow your own food like people did in the past.
Another thing is that games are not meant to be Christian toys that everyone should play with. They are meant as a fun expierience that normally could not happen. I don't play games to learn from the Bible, I play them to expierience something that I never have before. Even if it has demonic ideas or evil creatures, that doesn't mean we should take it as a message to tell everyone to worship the devil. It is only a GAME. Also there are ratings for the games that I am sure you are aware of. Oh and one more thing, Pokemon are not real animals, they are made up creatures that are used for battling in a game. In case you didn't know, they never kill each other, they just get knocked out.
My last remark is that Churchs can be just as evil as criminals. Didn't you know about what happened around the Renaissance? Endulgences? My friends Church had their minister scam then out of thousands of dollars and then leave them high and dry. Nothing is this world is perfect.
Happy Holidays,
Landon

From their FFX review:
"Although there is no sexual content in the game, several of the female characters wear revealing attire. One of the friendly characters sports a thong type outfit, and one of the adventurers in your group, Lulu, wears an outfit that reveals her ample bosom. "
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm christian, and I agree totally with them! ;D
Seriously, I am christian, but not that F*cked up!
"Mommy I want to play Metroid Prime.""No, Jimmy, there are supernatural powers, so that would be worshiping the devil."

It seems they rate games on a violence factor, rather than graphics, sound, replay, and fun.
That is funny, i know christians should be devoted to God, but i really dont see any occult happenings in metroid prime.

That's going WAY overboard. I'm Christian, but not that messed up. Those reviews are total nonsense.

Im Christian myself and if he rates these games he obviously has to play them, so wouldn't he be doing something he says should not be done? And if he does go see American Pie or whatever what makes him go?
Nothing.
He rates something that he doesn't like, yet he seems to do it all the time, people are screwed.
EDIT: look at this "How do you talk to your kids about their entertainment? Does every conversation end up in a fight? If it does, you are doing something wrong. When I make that statement in seminars, I get puzzled looks from the concerned parents."
He is one whacked person to think he can tell people how to raise children. YOU are doing something wrong, i highly doubt that, its the fact that retards llike him do this kind of stuff that tick kids off (like me) that make us go see whatever movies cause he is another "stupid" authority. I would say me and my parents get along well and we like the same kind of movies.

OK, he's an idiot, I really can't believe how he can consider Metroid Prime as occult (I know that that is grammatically incorrect, but I don't feel like figuring out how to say it right.) Wow, they have temples of ancient civilizations... OK, does this mean we should nuke the Sphinx? Yeah, right. I just looked at their ratings system, and to get an "A" the game needs to have some mention of the Bible, and "free of virtually all violence, language, sexual, and occult content or material" Civ 3 got an A, even if their is violence, I guess the cathedrals and stuff make up for it, right? Sorry, I doubt you'll find 10 A rated games... And they put Return to Castle Wolfenstein in the 30-39% area, which is violent and occult... What was occult in the game? I haven't played it, but it's an FPS of WWII, right? What's occult about that? Violent, I guess, but nothing occult. (NOTE: I'm beginning to hate that word.) And Diablo II gets a 19% HAH! That's pathetic. Like Jagged said, its violent, but the graphics are nothing, the blood looks like nothing and the "sexual content" is nonexistent. And the whole occult (AGAIN!) thing... Magic, and demons, and all that. So what, who cares. It's a game...
