You've heard of Guitar Hero', but what about Guitar Praise'? An offering (no pun intended) from Digital Praise Media, Guitar Praise' is a PC game that comes with a wireless guitar and features gameplay similar to that of Guitar Hero'. The main difference in gameplay is the soundtrack, Guitar Praise' features music from approved Christian rock bands who convey messages of responsibility, forgiveness and kindness through their music.
In addition to Guitar Praise', Digital Praise Media also offers Dance Praise', a Dance Dance Revolution' type game. Just as Guitar Praise' features a Christian-oriented soundtrack, so does Dance Praise', allowing children to "sway, shuffle and hop to songs with meaningful Christian lyrics".
Not from Digital Praise Media, but also an interesting find is the game entitled Left Behind: Eternal Forces'. It is a game which features a 3d modelled New York City and gameplay similar to that of The Sims'. Players must convert heathens and build houses and churches for the faithful while not giving in to the temptations of the secular hordes. The game has 45 million players, so this is not something small scale'. The demo of this game is available via the 'Eternal Forces' link below.

Christian music may be sound an unpopular style of music but the truth is they sell well, is like country music, where for good or bad some artist can double the sales than a pop group.
You've got that right. Nothing wrong with spiritual songs (there are atleast 1/2 dozen Nick Cave songs which refer to God) but atleast they're not obvious like the 'Christian' ones.
Then again, I always shudder when I see people try to turn religion into what it isn't - attending church shouldn't be like attending a rock concert - maybe someone should tell the evangelicals that.
Well said. It felt....inspired
Yes, I think weak-minded sums up believing in a big book of fairy tales and thinking that only one of those books is correct. Wouldn't you believe Puss 'n' Boots and Sleeping Beauty if they were in the Bible, Qur'an, or whatnot? If you want to wax poetic about lordships right after talking about "simpletons who don't take the time to think about wat they believe," you should probably take the time to take a deeper look still at what you "believe." It's that "belief" part with only evidence to the contrary that makes faith so mindblowingly simple and ridiculous.
And calling the Bible a book of fairy tales shows your ignorance of it as a historical document. Even secular historians don't debate that. What they debate is whether it's been embellished or not. Even then, the debated parts are generally the first book (Genesis) and the last books (New Testament). The Bible consists of a heck of a lot more than just that. And as far as I know, archaeology continually confirms Biblical accounts of ancient city locations, kings and other physically provable bits. Whether you like it or not, the Bible is still the most historical document in history according to historians.
Everyone believes in something, whether it be the belief in God or the belief in one not existing. You're still having faith either way.
It does not follow that just because some people believe in a god, those who do not "believe" in a lack of a god.
It makes more sense to think of it as some having a belief in a god, and some simply not having a belief in a god.
There is a difference.
What religious connotations? lol

That shouldn't be too hard, considering that Guitar Hero is gay to begin with.
It even makes more sense if the church tell people that God will not send us to HELL, because He loves us unconditionally.
True spirituality doesn't come from a book, or a building, or a fictional chacacter someone told you to believe is real. I'm not going to presume to tell you where you'll find enligtenment or spirtuality or whatever you want to call it; That would be presumptuous of me. Besides it wouldn't do you any good. All I can say for sure is that know it when you know it, and nothing I can say will help you find it any faster.
Buy hey, good luck with that toy-guitar/video-game/christian-rock-band thing. Whatever turns your crank.
Switchfoot. That band is fantastic. They beat the crap out of the garbage put out these days anyway. And I'm not one who likes "Christian music." I'm a Christian but the mainstream Christian pop is just as crappy as any secular pop. They both suck. A lot. The good stuff is almost always the indie stuff. In fact, I find most of the really good Christian indie rock to have much better lyrics then most secular songs because they deal with human behavior, etc instead of your usual fair of love or depression.
wouldn't that open Digital Praise Media up to a lawsuit or two for Copyright Infringement?
making money off of someone elses work without permission would be kind of ironic considering the game content of Dance Praise and Guitar Praise

Not really, they havent directly used any resources from either game and its just the style of the game thats the same essentially... you cant copyright that - imagine all the MMOs and FPSs that'd be in breach
THIS IS ABOUT A GAME - NOT A CHANCE TO STATE WHAT YOU BELIEVE
However, in reply. . .
Personally, I feel sorry for those people who think christianity is a load of tosh as they are simply being closed-minded. It is a religion, not a way of controlling people. Some churches are like rock concerts these days - music evolves in all types, not just secular!
However, it is a good alternative to the usual guitar hero right? More choice is better right?
So if you don't have a comment about the PRODUCT, then you're better off posting in the forum!
