Reviews
Why We Review Stuff
The answer is threefold:
- To inform Christians about elements and themes present in the video games/media 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/media consumption habits

Considering Which Games/Media 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 checklist that we run through when considering new media to review and give a platform to on this website:
- Would our participation in or involvement 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 we confident that our participation in or involvement is not sinful? (Romans 14:22-23)
- Could our participation in or involvement negatively impact our own spiritual growth or Christian duties? (Ephesians 2:10, Ephesians 5:15-17, Colossians 3:1-2, James 4:17, 1 Peter 4:2)
- Could our participation in or involvement become a legitimate stumbling block for another Christian? (Proverbs 22:6, 1 Romans 14:19, 1 Corinthians 8:9-13, 1 Corinthians 10:23-25)
- Could our participation in or involvement cause non-believers to fall further away from what is good? (Matthew 18:6, 2 Corinthians 6:3, Colossians 4:5-6)
If it checks all the right boxes… then maybe we’ll cover it.
Assessing Video Game Content
It’s important that we consider 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.
