"But other than that this game is perfectly harmless and can be enjoyed by people of all ages." Said Dove about Need for Speed Underground 2
"THE DOVE FOUNDATION is a non-profit organization established to encourage and promote the creation, production and distribution of wholesome family entertainment."
I was very glad to find this today.
I had know about Common Sense Media, which is best for younger children, and Game Rankings, which complies industry reviews.
The Dove is traditionally a Christian Symbol so it is nice to see games be recognized by a conservative representative
It does have its downsides. Fable was created by a Christian game developer, to show the effects of our choices, and how far people can back slide. It is a Roleplaying game, but it is an amazing game. Dove does not approve this game as Family-friendly because: " First of all there is excessive violence in this game including beheading, blood, and various forms of violence. Also, there is a magic element where you conjure spells hurting others." This is just like my mother who wouldn't let me see the lion the witch and the wardroom because it had a witch in it.
I think this will be another great source for evidence on including it in libraries though.
