They don't have a story, they have a MESSAGE they force down your throat.

If they don't have a Christian MESSAGE, they're not Christian games in my book, just games.

The Neverhood has a couple of subtly or even obviously Christian themes, I have no problem with that at all. It's a funny, original, creative game, one of my favorites.

You do, of course, have a right to hold your own opinion. So do I, I suppose. I believe that many such games, books, movies, etc., can also be well-intentioned, especially for those that want that sort of 'experience'. Whether it's a Christian 'message' game, or a 'Hindu', 'Muslim' or 'Buddhism' -themed game, I certainly don't have a strong and emotive opinion either way on the subject of such games. They're just games with a different theme. For those that want to play them for one reason, or another, that's fine by me. Some people might see them as another form of edutainment game. Their ALL just games, and the Christian type games are, after all, usually advertised as such. That's probably far, far better than subliminal 'messages' in games, I'd have thought.

Anyway. Any idea of what game the screenshot is from then ??

You asked a question. I answered it.

The difference between a game with a MESSAGE and a game with Christian themes or overtones is unmistakable.

Wait... I already said that.

BTW, I didn't recognize you before. I guess I should have.

I deleted my original pic post since I was going to change it, but since you've already guessed part of it, I'll put it back up.

No, what I meant was something along the lines of "from which project leader's Dig was this image taken?"

Good guess! Now that I think about it, I should've posted something from the alpha version of Sean Clark's design, just to confuse you....

...nah, that would have been just too evil.
