Youth Group video gaming

LarkNews.com: "REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — At a recent board meeting, pastor Darrell Smith of Trinity Fellowship put a video game controller in each member's hands. Soon the 12 men were clobbering each other on an oversized TV screen as they played Altar Egos: Rumble in the Pew, the latest church staff craze.
'I haven't felt this good about church in years,' said one board member, smiling and sweating.
Video game maker Electronic Arts created Altar Egos to test the market for Christian video games. The game, which EA describes as 'Grand Theft Auto without the graphic violence and sex, and set in a church building,' is not yet available in stores but was sent to hundreds of churches across the U.S. where it has become an instant obsession."
