Review: David vs Goliath – a Righteous Tale

By andygeers On July 7, 2014 ·

Of all the Bible-based computer games I’ve had my eye for a while, few have got me as excited as Righteous Tales – David vs Goliath. Until they actually get released, one can never be entirely sure how seriously to take them, but from all of the pre-release material this game looked like it […]

We are not David

By andygeers On June 25, 2014 ·

In the Old Testament Adventures Creed I talked about how useless “morality” is in changing human behaviour. Simply telling me what I should be doing differently isn’t even to bring about lasting change, because the problem is that in my sinfulness I don’t want to do the right thing.

Truth be told, a lot […]

Support the Call of Abraham on Kickstarter

By andygeers On January 10, 2014 ·

I came across this Kickstarter for Call of Abraham today. I don’t know the people involved, and I have no idea whether the game will be any good. But I decided to help fund it, because I think projects like this deserve a fighting chance. It takes money to make a decent game – […]

Interesting piece on the topic of Religion in Video Games:

A recent academic study into religion within video games by University of Missouri doctoral student Greg Perreault took a look at a wide range of games including Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy 13, Assassin’s Creed, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, […]

You WILL Be Tempted To Quit

By andygeers On February 24, 2012 · 2 Comments

Great post over on Life of a Steward on the temptation to give up on work that matters:

“When you’re doing work that matters, temptation will come… When we think of being tempted, we think of sexual affairs or perhaps the allure of lying for financial gain.
…
But this testing […]

Kickstart Codebearers Continuum

By andygeers On January 3, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Some friends of mine who I got to hang out with at the Christian Game Developers Conference last summer have recently launched a campaign on Kickstarter to raise the funds they need to create a great game based on the Codebearers series of book. They describe the project like this:

“Kaio Interactive was […]

Christianity in Video Games

By andygeers On October 14, 2011 · 1 Comment

Came across an interesting article on Gamespot this week titled “Having Faith In Your Games“. It’s a good discussion of the distinction between games that merely use Bible stories as a setting vs. games that actually communicate principles and make you examine your own heart in the light of them. I don’t know anything […]

Video Game Deaths

By andygeers On August 30, 2011 · 1 Comment

I think this is technically a blog post about a blog post about a blog post, which is probably a no-no, but I don’t mind. I’m a huge fan of the Mockingbird blog – a Christian perspective on the media with an emphasis on the fallenness of mankind and our desperate dependence on the […]

The Journey of Moses on Facebook

By andygeers On August 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment

This morning I came across a new Facebook game based on the book of Exodus called “Journey of Moses” – and it’s pretty good! You can read a quick news article about it on CNN, but I suggest you just dive in and have a play.

The game takes the form of […]
