Religion and Games July 25, 2004 - by Ian Bogost Two notes on this topic. First, a reminder that next week, from 29 July - 1 August, is the Christian Game Developer's Conference in Portland Oregon. It's not too late to register, and the cost is a very reasonable US$40. Second, Gamer Dad has a great article up about representations of religion in games. The article is an extended version of a 2002 Computer Games Magazine article, but it's worth a read, featuring thoughts from Richard Garriott, Sid Meier, Will Wright, Peter Molyneaux, Phil Steinmeyer, and Jane Jensen.
