LOTS of games have an abundance of religious themes, especially RPGs. What the author of the article is asking for is themes from a *specific* religion, in this case Christianity. . . "...the good-vs.-evil element that has become a staple of many recent games..." Good vs. Evil is an element of *recent* games?? The "Good/Evil" duality of nearly ALL video games is an intrinsically religious theme, even if the adherents of specific religions don't quite get their fix from it. I'd like to remind American readers that the people of the rest of the modernized (and video game playing) world is on average not nearly as religious as they are, or they simply identify with a different religion than Christianity. And since video games usually have to sell on a global market, creating a well-funded, successful game ripe with themes from a *specific* religion like Christianity might be pretty difficult. I don't have a general beef with Americans, but it's clear how thoroughly religiosity penetrates your culture when you can't seem to tell how strongly religious themes are already expressed in every part of it, including video games. One example of this is that the author of this article seems completely blind to the distinction between "religious themes" and specifically "Christian religious themes" Games are packed with religious themes. Slightly less so with specifically Christian religious themes. I, for one, am not more likely to buy a video game because of its Christian themes.
