Christian video and computer games may soon be appearing on Walmart shelves.
From Gamertell: Digital Praise, the company responsible for the music games Dance Praise and Guitar Praise , has announced a planned merger with Left Behind Games Inc, most well-known for games based on the Left Behind best-selling series of books.
From Gamertell: Is the Christian market for games being underserved? Is there, in fact, a market for Christian games? Walmart and Left Behind Games will try to answer those questions with a test in 100 stores in the Houston and Dallas areas. These stores will stock back catalog PC games based on the best selling Left Behind book series.
From the article: Looks like Left Behind: Eternal Forces was such a huge 'success', that Left Behind Games Inc is going to give away the title for free! A giveaway, neat! Similar to our own, right? Well not exactly. You see, they are just giving it away to the first one million people who sign up for it! So what are you waiting for, the second coming? Official press release at source.
From GamePolitics: Numerous reports have surfaced on the web over the last few days regarding legal threats made against blog sites by Left Behind Games, publishers of a controversial real-time strategy title based upon the mega-selling Christian book series. More after the jump.
The game sure generated a lot of debates, but it failed to generate revenues. Yesterday the Left Behind Games announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, and it posted sales of just over $2.2 million. The entirety of that sum was due to sales of Left Behind Games' first product, the PC real-time strategy game Left Behind: Eternal Forces, which launched in mid-November.
While the upcoming Christian-themed video game Left Behind: Eternal Forces is expected to be a big seller during the holiday season, at least one Wall Street expert thinks investing in the game's publisher could be a deadly sin.
