Like many Christians gamers, I feel a twinge of guilty when severing heads in Skyrim, or unleashing destructive magic from my palms. It's easy to think we're just having meaningless fun, but this anxiety is proof enough for me that we should start to take games more seriously.
However, I don't feel called to quit gaming, so how does a Christian proceed? We all believe games have such potential in telling stories yet we're left to live with tug-of-war raging inside us: one between questionable morality and edifying messages.
By morality I of course mean the stuff you don't want your grandmother to see: violence, sex, swearing etc.
