Here at GamePolitics we're sensitive to the various religious persuasions (or not) of our readers. I mention that right up front because the pair of mini-games discussed in this article will surely be offensive to some.

However, both are also at the nexus of video game tech and politics, so we'd be remiss not to cover them.

GoLeft.tv's Moral Kombat (screen shot at left) pokes fun at the influence of religion in Republican presidential politics. By the way, the Moral Kombat mini-game should not be confused with Spencer Halpin's documentary film of the same name. (Via: Nullifidian).

Meanwhile, Art Threat reports on Molleindustria's Faith Fighter:

The political video game prodigies at Molleindustria have tackled religion in their latest game, Faith Fighter. The game aims "to push gamers to reflect on how the religions and sacred representations are often instrumentally used to fuel or justify conflicts between nations and people."
