Are game designers escaped mental patients?:

Yes, either that or like me, they have over active imaginations, but sometimes I really don’t know. Good examples of possible escapees includes whoever came up with Pizza Tycoon, then there is Abe’s Oddysee, or Tribal Rage, Virtuoso, whoever thought that Southpark would make a good game, oh and of course, Worms. All these games have ludicrous plots although that doesn’t mean that they are all bad, Abe’s Oddysee and worms are good, some like pizza tycoon, but the other three are atrocious. Another odd idea for a game (or film) that has been very popular recently is the Heaven/Hell theme, preferrably with Angels.

In the film world you have Dogma, Michael, City of Angels and A life less ordinary, when it comes to games you have Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (although that is more of a cameo), Messiah and this game, Requiem. Said to be the next big step in First Person Shooters (aren’t they all) this game has you playing the role of an Angel sent to rid the world of a couple of Fallen Angels trying to take it over. However, does it make you pray or plead, read on to find out.
