It seems a little hypocritical if you ask me.

Only a little?
This is nothing new from the religious nut jobs of the world. If they don't like games with evil stuff in them they should not buy them and pay attention to what games their kids borrow or download. They should have no right to trample on games I may enjoy just because it offends their invisible man in the sky. Maybe if they actually used some critical thinking they'd stop making themselves look like fools. Most of the games they mentioned I've never even heard of. I'm sure they're just dumb games with evil themes that cater to the "I'm so dark and evil" crowd. I doubt they many kids are playing these games, it's more likely that these people searched for examples to fit their propaganda.
Other games on the list are laughable at best-
Dragon’s Age Origins- An rpg about a land of magic and dragons? Why should it follow the biblical god(btw wasn't he violent and spiteful?)? Arrogance and ignorance if you ask me.
Dante’s Inferno- Um, this is loosely based on the book. I have never played it or read the book but from what I do know of it there's no sympathy for the devil. I'm willing to bet Dante is there to kill all the hellspawn and eventually Satan. Oh I forgot, we aren't supposed to even mention the devil without cowering in fear and repenting.
Guitar Hero- Do I even need to explain how retarded this one is? I wish they mentioned what made them add this but as usual they are cowards and they resort to weasel words and lack of information to make their case. I'm assuming it's because it has songs they don't approve of like Sympathy for the Devil.
Now before anyone jumps on me for making assumptions I have a story to back that up. I met an old guy who was buying Band Hero because it's considered family friendly. When I asked why it mattered he told me his super religious daughter "caught" her kids playing Guitar Hero(specifically Sympathy for the Devil) and she flipped out, unplugged everything and threw it out. Obviously I was very unimpressed and I felt bad for those kids having to live with that lunatic.
These religious people need to wake up and realize that these games won't influence their kids. Strict control of every aspect of their lives will do far more damage and possibly push them to satanism out of spite.
