What do you guys think about the anti-Catholicism in Assassin’s creed? It really turned me off the game, personally (not that I thought it was that great to begin with).

I mostly ignored it. Besides, while indeed there were some troubling parts about religion, the historical Catholic figures you fought were the corrupt, disgraceful popes and clergy, the ones that tried to use the Church for their own personal sinfulness.

I just thought to myself, “This is a fictional game with a somewhat historical setting.”
 
I own a PS3. Bioshock (1&2), Mirror’s Edge, Dead Space, Metal Gear Solid 4, COD4, LBP, Orange box are some games i’ve played.

On PC & enjoyed System Shock (both), Half-Life series (and derivates), Deus Ex, No One Lives Forever, Silent Hill (2, 3, 4, Homecomming), Left 4 Dead, Vampire: The Masquerade (both), SimCity 4 and Thief series.
 
I am really not up-to-date on the latest games. I have an addictive personality when it comes this stuff. I bought a Nintendo DS, not realizing that it would cater mainly towards kids. I have a Madden game, a FIFA soccer game, and a James Bond game. I thought the Bond game would be more like GoldenEye for N64 which I loved, but to my disappointment, it was pretty lame. I had Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, but I threw it out because I got scrupulous one day about the occult and now I regret it, because it was a decent game.

like I said, I’m not caught up on the latest happenings, but Civilization, Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Kirby, Mega Man, Sonic, Madden, and too many RPGs to name (and remember the names of) are among my favorites. (there was one RPG for the SNES (I think) about a kid from “Podunk” that had a dog and they went time travelling. It was pretty cool. Does anyone remember the name of it?) The 2 games that stand out as all-time favorites are Doom for the PC and Final Fantasy III for SNES. I have to say that Doom should be avoided, due to the satanic imagery and the storyline. I was a kid when I played it, and it was before my conversion. But I am curious about FF3. What do those of you who are familiar with the story think about it? Is it pro-Christian or not?

Actually the Nintendo DS is better than the PSP for the reason that you actually said. The PSP is swamped with games that are adult targeted, resulting in it’s market struggles with Nintendo’s successful “family” approach. I threw out my PSP(and by throw out I mean sell for chips to EBgames) because all I was playing on it was Siphon Filter and GTA. I would prefer the DS now because of it’s family approach, and a wide range of “friendly games”. I don’t have one, but I do have a Wii.

List of my Wii games(best to worst):
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Resident Evil 4
Dead Space: Extraction
The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess
Mario Kart Wii
Super Mario Galaxy
Scarface:The World is yours
Resident Evil: The Darkside chronicles
Link’s Crossbow Training
Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil 0
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz
Top Spin 3
Wii Sports
Wii Play

P.S

I love Style Boutique, It’s the game I’d get and hide under my bed if I had a DS.
 
I’m not sure what games i like. I tend to play Ragnarok cause there are catholic items, job titles, and skills such as Rosary, Arch Bishop, and Magnus Exorcismus (Mass Exorcism). Although it draws on many religions (some of which are things like Egyptian and Norse mythology). I really wish there was a computer game company that was catholic. Who knows an MMORPG Where you’re an angel and have to fight demons and temptations and if you fail you start from the beginning like WoW… or not.
