I just put a new post up on my blog. It's all about how games can teach us things in unique ways, and why that should matter to Christians. Let me know what you think!

Great post!

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames was the last game to teach me something. Not exactly a thought provoking game, I know, but it made me question myself.

Interesting! I played the first mercenaries, never got to the second. I'm curious though, in what ways would you say it made you question yourself??

Near the end of the game, I acquired a nuke as part of the story line. I used the nuke and then acquired more with the millions I had made earlier.

I think we both know where this is going. I've played GTA IV and other similar open world games, but I went crazy with power.

I have a blog post written for when my review goes live, so I'll explain it better then.
