Christian Spotlight reviews Halo
Da Loaph found a rather unusual Halo review yesterday - it's part of a site called Christian Spotlight, and focuses on how games fit into the Christian viewpoint. Halo got high marks for gameplay, but was heavily downgraded for the potentially anti-Christian messages implicit in the use of Christian 'jargon', and for the violence. We've added this review to the Reviews database, but have used only the gameplay rating in the numerical score; the other parameters seemed to rate Halo on its suitability to the audience of the site, rather than on its own merit. (It's a tricky distinction, and one we haven't made before... but there doesn't seem to be any better way to choose an overall rating for the game, based on the information on the site.) We would ask that anyone going to visit to respect the spirit of the site; I'd hate to be responsible for the influx of a bunch of rude visitors. (If you have comments, feel free to add them to the forum thread here.) (Louis Wu 12:32:33 UTC)
