About Our Content

We recommend reading this first: Should Christians Play Video Games?

Why We Review Games

The answer is threefold:

  • To inform Christians about elements and themes present in the video games that they are considering bringing into their home
  • To point non-Christians to Christ whenever there are opportunities to discuss the gospel and the consequences of sin
  • To promote sensible gaming habits

Good-to-Knows for Readers

  • We cover a game’s themes and contents from a Christian perspective
  • We’re very selective about the games we cover, and will not cover games that glorify the practice of sinful behaviours
  • We try to keep our content as family-friendly as possible, but may discuss mature themes present in the games we’re covering
  • All of our content, including review writing, video editing and voice-overs are produced by humans
  • We only use stock photos or videos produced by real people, and we provide credit where possible
  • We provide clear disclosure of how each game was sourced (purchased, gifted, review code, etc)
  • We have no plans to make use of affiliate links

Good-to-Knows for Developers, Publishers and PR Agencies

  • We will consider reasonable embargo requests
  • We accept review codes
  • We don’t accept sponsorship deals
  • We won’t revise our reviews on request, unless it is to correct inaccuracies in our coverage

Our Scoring System

Our reviews typically contain an ‘Entertainment Rating’ with a value between 1-10. This is a numerical representation of the enjoyment we experienced during our time playing the game. We don’t publicly disclose the ‘weighting’ of individual elements that influence this rating, but as you might expect – gameplay is indeed the chief influencing metric.

Considering Which Games to Cover

When publishing content, our goal is to equip readers with the right information to help them determine whether a game is suitable for their personal consumption or the consumption of those around them.

Here’s a handy checklist which helps us determine which games we cover. In fact, we can broaden this further – here’s a handy checklist which can help any Christian determine which activities and pastimes to participate in:

  • Would participating in and ultimately promoting this activity dishonour or displease God? (Matthew 22:37-38, Romans 12:2, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Ephesians 5:11, Colossians 3:5, 1 Thessalonians 5:22)
  • Are you confident that participating in and ultimately promoting this activity is not sinful? (Romans 14:22-23)
  • Could participating in and ultimately promoting this activity negatively impact your spiritual growth or Christian duties? (Ephesians 2:10, Ephesians 5:15-17, Colossians 3:1-2, James 4:17, 1 Peter 4:2)
  • Could participating in and ultimately promoting this activity become a legitimate stumbling block for another Christian or person you are responsible for? (Proverbs 22:6, 1 Romans 14:19, 1 Corinthians 8:9-13, 1 Corinthians 10:23-25)
  • Could participating in and ultimately promoting this activity cause non-believers to fall further away from what is good? (Matthew 18:6, 2 Corinthians 6:3, Colossians 4:5-6)

Assessing Video Game Content

It’s important that we assess the context behind the content in games. Let’s consider two hypothetical games that include anti-Christian content:

  • Game A has you playing as Saul of Tarsus, encountering NPCs who spout anti-Christian rhetoric; and the developer has made efforts to caution against or condemn opposition to what is pleasing to God
  • Game B has you playing as a mercenary who openly engages in and/or glamorises anti-Christian behaviour such as adultery, swearing, lying, etc; and the developer has made effort to encourage a hedonistic lifestyle

Game A would potentially been seen more favourably in our eyes, as while there is the presence of anti-Christian content, it’s purposefully cautioned against or condemned outright. The Bible itself contains historic records of God’s enemies employing anti-Christian rhetoric (and is of course not presented favourably).

Game B would likely be seen unfavourably, as the glamorisation of anti-Christian behaviour only serves to, directly or indirectly, lead people further from what is good and pleasing to God.
