A group tracking religious rights activities says the Christian game Left Behind is wall-to-wall spyware. Game play and ad viewing will be tracked once the title is installed on PCs. The software can't be deleted or removed. Moreover, it apparently locates where in the world your computer is and reports how many times a day you use it. Don't think "spyware," think "computer angels."

In related news, Left Behind Games, the company behind Left Behind: The Game (clever, eh?) just brought on some new senior VP—David Klein who used to work at Electronic Arts and 3DO. Klein said this about his new position:

I believe in the mission of Left Behind Games and the vision of its founders. After witnessing the degradation of game content over the last many years, I feel revitalized to be a part of a company that can provide an excellent gaming experience and still hold itself to a higher standard.

And that higher standard is God. Brian Ashcraft
