Who thought the two went together but you can now play as
one of those left behind after the rapture, fighting the forces of evil.
Apparently you cannot choose to play the other side.

Not to mention that that other quasi religious group
Al Qa'eda have upset United American Committee chairman
by modifying his execrable Quest for Saddam game to be
a Quest for Bush game.

He is or was hoping to sue for breach of copyright.

You really couldn't make it up.

It would make an interesting RP.

Trying to prevent the FInal Battle from being a loss.

Or being a general and then turning against Damien himself.

both games look lame and poorly made

though the idea of being able to choose sides in a religious game sounds fun especially if the line between good and evil is not clearly made and *gasp* the player is not given any “baddies”:eek:

I want more War on Terror in my RTS's. plenty of shooting terrorists in FPS, but so rarely is there the same in RTS. I want to fund suicide bombers to hijack a civilian plane and crash it into the enemy's towers!

A version of Donkey Kong in which Mario gets to the top and detonates his explosives-filled vest would be great!

You really couldn't make it up.My gosh. As if murder and conspiracy weren't enough, now they've gone and taken on copyright infringements. Whatever will we do...

C&C Generals

God is that game fun. Nothing tops a whole bunch of explosive/bacterial upgraded trucks camo'd as cars running as one into an enemy's base.
