Playing Games With Gods: Why Games Need Religion - Jenni Goodchild

Religion isn't explored much in games. This talk is all about how games use religion and, more interestingly, why so many of them use it in a shallow way or stay away from it entirely. Here are the sites Jenni mentions:

Gamechurch: http://gamechurch.com/
Christ & Pop Culture: http://christandpopculture.com/
Video Games and the Bible: http://videogamesandthebible.com/

And here's the Katherine Cross article on Pathfinder: http://feministing.com/2014/03/27/a-s...
