Left Behind tries to help kids, pander to audience

Recommended Videos

Left Behind: Eternal Forces, the new RTS based on the mega-selling series of Christian Rapture-themed novels, seems to have some additional surprises boxed in with it. Joystiq received it and found inside a flier asking for people to help sponsor a child in Eastern Europe.

We’re all for charity, but we have to wonder if putting fliers in video game boxes is the best way to go about it. For some reason, this whole thing vaguely offends me, but then, we have robotic hearts uncapable of your human emotions.

So we leave it to you guys. Is this a great way to help kids out or is it pandering to a target audience already predisposed to giving by packaging a bit of salvation in with a game that blatantly tells you “if you’re bad, you will burn in our hell and be shot with our machine guns”?
