\"Darksiders\"<\/a>
\"\"<\/span>The Lead shared links to posts and articles on a variety of religiously-themed video games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One that didn\u2019t get a mention there, and which a student in my class on the Book of Revelation is going to be blogging<\/a> about soon, is called Darksiders<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It is loosely connected to the Book of Revelation, or so I\u2019m told. <\/p>\n

Of related\u00a0interest,\u00a0there is also a video game of Dante\u2019s Inferno<\/a>\"\"<\/span>.<\/p>\n

If anyone reading this has played any of these games, I\u2019d be interested to hear whether they have anything more than the most tangential sort of link to the texts they claim to be based on.<\/p>\n
