Okay. I don't know if you guys have heard about this already, but there's a new Evony-esque game in the works, and here's why this is being posted in Religion: it's Bible-themed, right down to the missions. My thoughts on this, being a die-hard Caesary player are along the lines of 'what the hell?'
I don't even know where to begin with this game. Sure as hell can't be Vatican-approved. (Uh... not that I'm really a good enough Catholic to give a rat's ass, anyway.) The game's basic premise is that you're the leader of one of the tribes during the first few books of the Old Testament, and your job is to make sure your tribe survives by taking on other tribes and hunting animals. Or something. Oh, and you get to meet biblical figures like Abraham at certain points.
Now, I remember that companies like Wisdom Tree have tried to use video games in the past to teach about Christianity (and failing horribly). That's one thing. But a browser idle-game? I don't even want to think about the in-game Item Mall right now...
