\"DigitalPraiselogo.jpg\"<\/span>Digital Praise has announced that they are introducing a new guitar game called Guitar Praise that’ll give fans of Christian music the chance to play rock star with family-friendly music.
\nTom Bean, President and CEO of Digital Praise, Inc., says in the press release<\/a>, “People love the console guitar games on the market, but many would like more family-friendly songs and graphics. Guitar Praise gives kids, families and youth groups the play features they like best, plus some new twists as well as the best Christian rock titles out there today.”
\nAs I’ve been reminded before, I don’t know much about video games, so take my opinion about this with a grain of salt. But I think I’d like to see the company offer something that works with the wildly popular Guitar Hero to get the Christian music into the mainstream, rather than come up with a totally new game that segregates Christians even more from the rest of the world.
\nI’d love your thoughts on this, especially you Guitar Hero fans who want Christian music for the game. Would you rather just have a whole new guitar game for Christians, or Christian music for Guitar Hero? Is there a way to have both?
