GTA: Rollin fo da Lord

You are a bible thumping evangelist. Make your way around San Andreas and the outlying areas to get the Word out to those in need. You will need to jack cars, bikes, helicopters, and other modes of transportation to get around. Get medieval on those who do not conform, and ally yourself with fellow believers to turn Sin City into Saved City. In your arsenal will be such favorites as the Ark of the Covenant, Holy Hand Grenade, Fire, Brimstone. In addition, turn your enemies to pillars of salt, burn bushes, part seas, and summon plagues.

Coming soon to a PS3 near you.

Sooo....violence, crime, rape, robbery, etcetcetc are all fantastic in a video game but if someone makes a game that has wholesome content you mock that? What are you scared of? People might actually choose games that give them a sense of upliftment?
Violence will always drive a certain segment of video games sales but there are those who will favour an intelligent, wholesome game and it is a market waiting to be tapped.
