yo i am a harcore gamer but i am lookin for a christian type of game like no cursing snd stuff any ideas anyone?
 
Depending upon what consoles you own, there are tons of options. What types of games do you like?
 
Unfortunately most games that are actually Christian are poorly made. The creators tend to focus more on the message and neglect the actual gameplay which is what essentially makes or breaks a game. I have yet to come across one that is both playable and enjoyable, and I'm not that picky of a gamer to begin with. The best advice I have for you if you're trying to avoid offensive material is just keep an eye on the ratings posted on the games. They always list why a game is rated what it's rated, like if there's language, sexual content, violence, etc. There are a lot of E-rated games that are a blast to play, like the original Spyro games or Crash Bandicoot. The easiest way, for me anyways, is to just do a Google search like "Best (name of your console) games" and see what you can find, and then weed out the ones with material you're trying to avoid.

Best of luck!

I have seen a few exceptions to that actually. I will agree, there are a lot out there that are AWFUL. The creators tend to focus too much on the message they want to get across but ignore the overall quality of the movie. However there are some exceptions:

Hangman's Curse was pretty good though it was still a little cheesy, but definitely a huge step forward, and seeing Frank Peretti actually act in it was amusing. As dark and scary of a writer as he can be, he has a great sense of humor. Also the fact that it casted people who went on to make other movies after this one says something. Can't really say that for some of the other films I've seen.

Passion of the Christ, granted it was made by a now raving lunatic, was a very well made movie. It was creative, the actors were definitely believable, it made sure to pay as much attention to the plot and over all cinematic quality as much as it did to the message it wanted to give. And it probably had one of the best Satan's I've ever seen in a Christian film. Using that creepy woman that you couldn't tell was male or female was brilliant. My only complaint with it is that it focused too much on just the death, and yes I know that was intended to try to move people, but even atheists believe there was a Jesus and he died. Pretty much everyone believes that. But the resurrection is the reason why Christianity exists and if Gibson had wanted to really deliver how big of a deal Jesus was, he should have had more on that as well rather than the 5 second scene of Jesus stepping out of the tomb.

And if you go way back in the day, the 10 Commandments was probably the best made Christian film. It's epic, it's a story we all know, and best of all it had Charlton Heston, one of the greatest actors in history. Only problem with it is the special effects, but that's because it's an old film so of course they're going to be bad. Ben Hur was another Charlton Heston film that was Christian, and probably one of the most epic classic films. Granted the chariot race scene scarred my 5 year old brain when Sala get's knocked under the horses and trampled brutally to death, but still a great movie. I think it should be a requirement for up and coming Christian directors to watch those two movies and take notes before they attempt to make their own films.
 
just remeerbed dantes inferno is a good game i think its christian it has hell the biblical version
 
I don't think it counts as Christian... mostly because Dante made up his own version of Hell... and Purgatory... and Heaven... granted Inferno only focuses on Hell. Great book though. One of my favorites. Haven't played the game though.
