Tugging at the heart strings of gamers, Left Behind: Eternal Forces comes with the note above. The CEO of Left Behind Games Inc. asks gamers to please sponsor an Eastern European child for $27 a month. The game was developed in Eastern Europe using "talented artists and engineers" and Left Behind games wants to give back to the community -- through your money. In case you're wondering, Eastern European Outreach is a "missionary organization committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the people of Eastern Europe."
Left Behind: Eternal Forces, based on the novel Left Behind about events following Christianity's concept of the Rapture, comes with a lot of things we hardly receive when purchasing a game. It comes with the sponsorship note above, along with the novel Left Behind and a little bright orange sheet that explains how to install the game or call for assistance. The orange sheet was clearly designed for someone who has never installed a game before.
We'll be playing Left Behind: Eternal Forces this weekend to give some impressions on this controversial game. Many games have had concepts like religion and salvation built into them, but this time it's actual Christianity and not some made up deity. Well, not a made up deity to a significant portion of the population anyway.
