"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur
"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper
"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)
"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper
"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper
"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul
"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan
"If the Christian has lost sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way."
- J.I. Packer[/SIZE]

Terrain deformation = very yes, but the style is unimpressive. Yay, it's another high-tech hardcore military type. I know, I know, "Isn't that what Master Chief is?" You're right ~ Spartan-117's character type is nothing revolutionary, but Bungie pulls off his character with simple aplomb.
If I recall, terrain deformation [of the shoot-stuff-until-it-breaks variety] was the theme of Black, was it not? Frankly, I think the game mechanic is great, but it won't sell games by itself. Hopefully, they get the essentials of a proficient FPS down and add something that's unique as well. I'm reading the LucasArts webiste, and they mention debate over genetic monkeying-around, which could be an interesting plot point, but 1] genetic modification/enchancement and cybernetics are old-hat as far as plot elements are concerned, and 2] you play a military demolitions expert ~ how much will these "ideological differences over genetic enhancement" actually affect him? LucasArts is billing him as "the next action hero", not some sort of warrior-philosopher. It seems that he'd be more concerned with terrain-deforming gunplay than intellectual/ethical wordplay.
I'll reserve judgment, but LucasArts has a few hurdles to overcome before my seal of approval, worthless as it is. ^_^
