News direct from the BBC website suggests that video gaming could be about to move in a new, exciting direction, well, that's as long as the Christian gaming community have anything to do with it:

"The Devil, they say, has all the best tunes. Until now he has also had the video games market sewn up...
...But a growing band of Christian game developers are taking a stand...

...Reverend Ralph Bagley, 41, is a man with a mission. "I have always been a gamer since the days of Pong and Pacman," he told BBC News....

..."As believers in Christ, we pray that God will be glorified through our work and that each of us draw nearer to him as we develop and grow as a business," the company says"

This story, I have to say, was an inspiration to me. THE POSSIBILITIES!

For instance, if you want Christian historical realism how about a game based around the time of The Spanish Inquisition? Surely you can forget the blood and guts when the people you mutilate are going straight to hell?

Or maybe a Witch Hunting game set in Mediaeval Europe in which you play the dashing Village Priest, hell bent on wiping out the scourge of your local community. Can you convince the town folk that the young, beautiful wench with the glowing smile is actually in league with the Devil?

Noah and his Ark would make for a great game experience! It is your task, at the call of God, to round up and imprison two of every type of animal before the floods drown humanity. There could be several sections of the game, success in your task is vital for the future of planet Earth. Will you manage to complete your task before the floods come? And remember, don't sail too close to the edge of the world or you might fall off!

I see masses of potential here for quality gaming.
Can you come up with anymore?
