DO WANT.

All I want are dead zombies and funny hats. This game appears to deliver that.

"What the Hell? I've been seeing this a lot...is this new talking point, "African tribal leaders sold rivals to white Christians" some new talking point amongst the Christian community or something?
I keep seeing this bullshit moron "point" come up, as if it does anything to lessen the evil upon other human beings that was primarily perpetrated by white Christian men."

Uh, it's not so much a "talking point" as it is an "historical fact." And I learned it from watching an interview with a black African female professor. It doesn't lessen the evil. It just makes the point that we're all human and thus all capable of equal evil. To suggest otherwise would be racist.

"Also, I've seen on several occasions denouncements from the (mostly Evangelical) Christian movement that there are no other life forms in the universe."

Well, I wouldn't know, as I'm not Evangelical. But the original point was that "Christianity" - as in, the entire faith - opposed the notion of alien life. Remember that Evangelicals are an historically recent phenomenon when compared to the Christianity of old. Nothing in Catholic or even mainline Protestant teaching (and for the record, I am Orthodox) opposes the idea that God created other life, so long as one acknowledges the special nature of the human species as being made in God's image.

When we finally cross that road, it will certainly spark an interesting theological debate. I think we can all agree about that!

Least fun facts of all: The Arab and Indian slave trades began before and ended after the Atlantic slave trade.

And there is still non-Christian slavery in Africa today.

"Not so fun fact: It was also white christians that started it to begin with though. ;)"

Even less fun fact: It was non-Christian African tribal leaders who helped them get the slaves in the first place.

PWN3D!!!

"...Earth has made contact with multiple alien races--which Christianity tends to frown upon."

Upon what do you base this slander?

Also, fun fact: The abolitionist movement was successful in large part due to faithful Christians.

Yes, the PEGI is definitely to blame here.

In America, the ESRB gave the New York Times crossword puzzle game for the DS a Teen rating for some of its potentially offensive content.

PEGI could learn a thing or two from their U.S. counterpart.

I actually got freaked out.

By a HANDHELD game.

Will investigate.

During a conference call to announce its latest music game Rock Band for release on Xbox 360 and PS3, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos hinted strongly that a Wii-specific version of the title would be coming out in the future. When asked if there was any chance Rock Band would arrive on Wii, Rigopulos said without hesitation, "Absolutely."

"We will, at some time, bring Rock Band to every [important] platform," Rigopulos said. He added that Harmonix would optimize future versions of Rock Band to fit the strengths of the platform. "I think the Wiimote is something that holds enormous promise."

Rock Band comes to Xbox 360 and PS3 this holiday. No Wii version has been officially announced.

So, this game definitely has a good chance of being Wii-bound.

And Nintendo will have to either violate or repeal its own policy of not selling AO games, and I think that other company will as well.

View "Federation Ship Full Walkthrough."

The graphics look great in motion, and this trailer is eight months old.
