Spoiler warning: This post have many game "story twist".
- Am I the only, one always found it funny how standard it is to make especially christianity, look evil in games? Here's a small list I am working on.
Premise: If their is one thing games have thought us is that religion equals evil. If any religion have some central point in the story it will be evil. Especially Christianity is shown in bad coolers by games.
Games makers have made it their calling to teach us that don't judge a book by its cover and fear every religious leader.
7.Final fantasy X
The game focus on Buddhism/Christianity as it central religion everyone worships Yevon.
Yevon = sin, the monster that kills countless people every time is actually Yevon.

The Yevon church also imposes anything else that tries to improve the world against teaching. Like the Al bhed people who try and improve the world with technology.

Whole game is about how the angels are more evil then the devils.
We play as the Devil overlord to be, and we soon learn that he is not so evil. While its the angels and using humans as tools try to invade netherworld(hell) is.

In this game god has been dead since the start of time, and the devil is the actual good we are worshiping. The higher up in the church now this and wants to restore the devils powers. The whole religion of “Christianity” has since from the start been for the devil.
3.Xenogears:
Having the most confusing story ever for a game. Of course some kind of religion had to be in it.
The Christianity is a religion created by a floating city in the sky to get worshipers, they also made the part about hell and the devil. Because their is another cloud city that impose them.
Angels are Mechs.
They kidnap people from the ground and experiment on them, this have created zombie/vampires that they claim is from hell. So they created a whole Vampire hunter for priest. Bu this is only so that the people they have mutated wouldn't have a chance to reveal what happened to them. And to train humans to fight for them against the other cloud city.
Then later is reveled the main character is god, and/or Adam, and his love is Eve. God is a machine from the real earth. The main character have lived several lives, have a daughter that is 4000 years old. This game is ridicules complex.
IT also features a “bunny” that can fight mechas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzRq1MNvKjMt
2.Breat of fire 2.3
In BOF 2, the whole thing about church not worshiping god is take to the extreme, where its found out that under the “vatican”
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/bof/bof2.htm
Their is a machine that sends people worship of god to him. But God has never exited and its really the devil getting powered. The god in the religion name is Eva(Eve). The pagan god people are not allowed to worship any more, the dragon god is the actual good guys who sealed away the Evil god in the past.
BOF3:
Have the god of the game be named Myria(Maria), this time she actually is god, like we know Christianity god. Lives in heaven, guard over all the people, slaughter all the dragons.
This game is pretty interesting on the part that god Maria don't actually see to be so evil the only part she done is killed the dragon kin. And that she don't believe that humans should have free will.
1.Bayonetta:
If there is one game that have thought us that killing angels is something good, its this game.

The game is about a witch trying to save the world from the evil angels that wants to return god to the world so she can destroy it.
Angels are show as ugly and pure evil. the game also features bonus of defeating angels with torture devices.
