8 Games You Will Go To Hell For xD

A long-time video gamer and devout Catholic is sounding the alarm about a new breed of satanically-themed video games that target God and the Catholic Church, invite players to make pacts with the devil, and elevate Satan to hero status.

“This has been going on for the last 10 years, but especially in the most recent games,” said Lance Christian, 32, of Alton, Illinois. “It wasn’t until last month when I said, ‘enough is enough!’ I’m a gamer, but I’m deep into my faith and I think God is showing me this so I can make other people aware of it.”

He has seen games gradually become more occult-based, promoting Satan and even the persecution of Christians. For instance, in one game, players kill the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael before going on to destroy God. Another game requires players to sell their soul to the devil and rewards them for “killing unbaptized infants.” One game has Muslims killing Christians in a holy war.

All these games seem to have one central theme - God is the enemy and the devil is the hero. One game guide blatantly states: “The Judeo-Christian God is portrayed as the prominent villain in the series . . .”

“This is just the tip of the iceberg in what I have discovered,” Mr. Christian said. “I feel that the devil has a new tool trk with in this age of technology, and the majority of adults in a position of responsibility are left in the dark.”

He provided us with the following list of the most egregious games:

1) Tecmo’s Deception: Invitation To Darkness (Playstation) – Players “make an unholy pact and sell their soul to Satan in exchange for power” with the object of the game being to ensure the resurrection of Satan and obtain his power. (This game is rated “T” for teen.)

2) Nocturne (Playstation 2) - A game in which the hero (a demon) destroys the three archangels St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, then goes on to destroy God.

3) Devil Summoner (Playstation 2) – Involves communicating with and recruiting demons. One demon tells the player “That Catholic Church is such an eyesore” and in the end of the game, blows up the Church.

4) Shadow Hearts (Playstation 2) - The hero uses his power to intercept and destroy God and “save the world.” Some games in this series are rated “T”.

5) Assassin’s Creed (Playstation 3/Xbox 360) – Main character is a Muslim assassin assigned to kill Christians.

6) Dragon’s Age Origins (Playstation 3/Xbox 360) – Game revolves around the story of God going mad and cursing the world. A witch attacks believers and players can “have sex” with her in a pagan act called “blood magic” so she can “give birth to a god.” Another scenario allows player to have sex with a demon in exchange for a boy’s soul.

7) Dante’s Inferno (Playstation 3/Xbox 360) – Loosely based on the Divine Comedy, player travels through nine circles of Hell, fighting demons, “unbaptized babies” and other tormented souls. (This game is being considered for a movie by Universal Pictures.)

Guitar Hero (Playstation) – Players use guitars decorated with pentagrams. God is repeatedly mocked by the devil and in the end, the devil is the hero of the game. Women dressed as Catholic school girls are degraded. (Rated “T” for teen)

Other games with Satanic themes are Darksiders, Koudelka, Trapt, and Bayonetta.

Game publishers are cashing in on the satanic and anti-Catholic content themes and using them as a draw for buyers. For instance, Electronic Arts launched a catchy ad campaign to sell its satanic-themed game Dante’s Inferno. Buyers interested in the game are greeted at the site by an alleged new game called, “Mass: We Pray.” When they click on the link, they’re declared a heretic and re-routed to Dante’s Inferno. After ordering, they’re offered a “Number of the Beast” discount of $6.66.

Even though most of these videos are rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) as “M” for mature audiences, many are rated “T” for teens. But irregardless of the ratings, they can easily fall into the hands of children from older siblings or parents, Mr. Christian says, and points to a recent YouTube video of an eight year-old playing a Satanic themed game.

Paul Bury, editor of Family Friendly Gaming said the envelope is definitely being pushed with these games. “Role playing games have progressively gotten worse over the years,” he said. “It is difficult to find a role playing game that is not ‘T’. . . . There have been some ‘M’ rated ones where all kinds of decadence is allowed.”

Another problem is that the ESRB has been “shifting” its standards much like movie rating bureaus have been doing. “Compared to movies in the past, they are now allowing more for a PG rating,” Mr. Bury said. “I have noticed the same thing from the ESRB. Games that in the opinion of Family Friendly Gaming that should receive a ‘M’ rating, are getting a ‘T’ rating. They are letting more through.”

Eliot Mizrachi, spokesman for the ESRB, says their rating system focuses on violence, language and sexuality and is based on what the average consumer’s expectations would be about content.

“The ratings are only intended to be a guide,” he said, “but if someone has sensitivities about particular content, the first step would be to check the rating summaries on our website which provide a very detailed description of the content that factored into the rating.”

We checked these summaries and although they were helpful, few mentioned the overt satanic content of the games.

Mr. Mizrachi says concerned parents need to do their homework before choosing what games their children can play. In addition to checking the summaries available on their website, they should also consult game reviews on parent-focused websites.

He does not represent the majority of Catholics. He is part of the crazy fringe who know nothing about their faith but like to act likely they do. The fringe get pissed about any thing and twist every thing. They went nuts over Led Zeppelin, then boycotted Pokemon and Grandtheft Auto, no you have this one guy leading the charge. Or its possible this is another publicity stunt by EA for Dante's Inferno. You can sell things that are some what taboo like hot cakes.

Do you know irreguardless isn't a real word? Random fact of the day, but in any case I think that's a bit extreme. I doubt that if there is a good he's going to send you to hell for playing a video game.

[Gina]

Guitar Hero (Playstation) – Players use guitars decorated with pentagrams. God is repeatedly mocked by the devil and in the end, the devil is the hero of the game. Women dressed as Catholic school girls are degraded. (Rated “T” for teen)

It's based off and epic poem. Guess what though? The epic poem was about a guy named Dante that believed in god and made it to heaven. So how will we go to hell?

[C0FFINCASE]

Uh, Assassin's Creed? Templar are a Christians and an Order of the Catholic Church and the Assassins were Muslim assassins. The game is very historically correct aside from the storyline. All the people you kill were really killed during the crusades.

But still thats not devilish the christians killed muslims

And the theory here is if you are muslim you go to hell if you kill a christian

Thats just dumb

Christians killed muslims as well

[C0FFINCASE]

The theory here is that killing is a sin and send you to hell and that the game promotes anti-christian ideology. (don't think so personally)

Christians killed Muslims after the Muslims threw them out of Jerusalem and were told that killing the "non-believers" was not a sin and would get them into heaven. The papacy at the time was also possibly corrupt. The Templar were formed though as a means to guard people travailing to the Holy Land and the Holy Cities there.

They should add saboteur to that list, I ran over a nun earlier today.

Everything is Satanic to Catholics. Who cares? Obama is fucking Satanic to the Catholics. Pac-Man is Satanic to the Catholics - it has ghosts, drugs, and murder. I don't think this is a serious issue at all, and crazy religious nuts bitching about it is no more important than the fact that they've bitched about anything that's moved over the past decade.

I say its an issue you since you lump all Catholics together as insane fanatic nut who view all action as Satanic when its far from the case. Especially when its applies more often to other christian groups. Televangelist and their spin off churches and cults are the ones you are often yelling about something ridiculous and most of the crazy Catholics happen to know nothing about their faith and don't represent the Church or a significant portion there of the people in the Church.

[Gina]

We get it!

If you are religious
There is hardly any games you can play

But they are science fiction!
Fake!

[RobbyTheReaper]

i'm surprised that resistence fall of man wasn't in here cause in the game you destroy a chruch or something that alot of religion people had controversy over XD

[noob]

I'm surprised Diablo wasn't put in the dock. The entire concept is riddled with Satanic references, dead bodies lying about, impaled on stakes, blood everywhere, and don't lets forget the DEMONS.

But then again, there are a bunch of nuts in that mould in every country, leave alone every planet.

[Neological]

My christian friend told me, their pastor was watching kids play Left 4 Dead, and he said use guns instead of the chainsaw cause it was less violent. Hahaha

Once I was playing Diablo II, and my mother told me to delete it cause it's evil.

[Gina]

Alot of demonic games are not listed

So this list is an EPIC FAIL

Noobs sig:

[Chris]
