Left Behind Games' president, Jeffrey Frichner, says the game actually is pacifist because players lose "spirit points" every time they gun down nonbelievers rather than convert them. They can earn spirit points again by having their character pray. "You are fighting a defensive battle in the game," Frichner, whose previous company produced Bible software, said of combatting the Antichrist. "You are a sort of a freedom fighter." [snip]

It's a little different than the usual offensive game for sure. The Campaign to Defend the Constitution and the Christian Alliance for Progress, two online political groups, plan to demand Wal-Mart drop the game this week. Oh yeah, and one of the biz partners Troy Lyndon actually worked on the early (1990) Madden football.
