Dude, you owe it to yourself to go back to it. Awesome freaking game, plus there's boobies after the first level.
I almost beat it on "God" difficulty but it really kicked my ass on the last level so I gave up. The sequel is a bit shorter experience but it's just as fun. -

Lore -- here you go: http://www.gametab.com/images/ss/ps2/2681/box-l.jpg
Lol, thanks... But it was, in fact, marmot who asked someone to embed that image. I was simply quoting him and posting the image for him. I've never actually played that game... evidently I should.

Exodus 15:3 Says the LORD is a warrior: literally YHWH or Yahwey is a warrior. Also King David the one known as a man after God's own heart was yup, you guessed it a warrior. So I am just wondering, does that mean that God is unloving ? Is it not loving to combat evil? If God nor anybody else did what would this place be like ? Hell maybe? About the sword though, that is interesting I never thought about that being the first weapon ever mentioned. good catch.

Hey Marmot,
When God placed that sword to protect the tree of life he did it for two purposes.
1) Not allow man to live forever. &
2) The war against Satan is on!
It simbolizes the end of the perfect world God had planned for us and the start of the new world of hard painful work and death. All because Adam & Eve disobeyed.

Or how about it was just a collection of semitic mythology?
Adam and Eve were not historical figures that started the human race in 4026BC. People were around long before that. There are many sites around the world that show ice-age megafauna kills with stone tools and projectile points in-situ. A prehistoric bison skeleton was found in Folsom, New Mexico in 1927 with a spear point embedded in the scapula. The find was dated to more than 8000 years ago. Going even further, projectiles identified with a site in Clovis, New Mexico have been dated to over 13000 years ago and these have been found in direct association with mammoth skeletons.
By 6000 BC there was already an established art-producing culture in the middle East called Halaf.
Interestingly enough, the first cities and written forms of language emerged around 4000 BC. This coincides with the biblical account of the appearance of Adam. -

Marmot,
The idea that the human race began in the year 4026 BC sounds like just another fabrication from the watchtower. Maybe it stems from CT Russell's calculations that he got from measuring the opening of the Great Pyramid ? You sure don't get that date from reading the Bible. 4026 would be just another in a long list of missed dates or ( False prophecies). If they were truly God's mouthpiece as they claim, there would be no missed dates no mistakes and no need for "new light". that date is a teaching of a group of men who are clearly more interested in people following them than in people following God, maybe there is a reason why all prophecy in the Bible is 100% accurate and the WTs is well, 100% not.

Well lets see:
Adam lived 930 yrs.
Seth, Adams son lived 912 yrs.
E'nosh Seths son lived 905 yrs.
Ke'nan, E'noshs son lived 910 yrs.
Ma-hal'a-ele lived 895 yrs.
Ja'red lived 962 yrs.
E'noch lived 365 yrs. and God took him.
Me-thu'se-lah lived 969 yrs.
La'mech lived 777 yrs.
Then Noah had 500 yrs. when he began the construction of the great ark. Now I'm not mentioning from the great flood to the birth of Christ. So how many years is that? are you good in math?

I don't think marmot is too far off though. The ages of the patriarchs in Genesis were in flux in antiquity (cf. the different ages in the MT, LXX, and the Samaritan Pentateuch), and there is some evidence that they were influenced by early Jewish synchronistic chronography which was ideologically focused on demonstrating that the Jews were older than the Greeks and other nations. In the Hellenistic world, prestige was based in large part on the antiquity of a given people. The Romans had conquered much of the Mediterranean, but the founding of Rome in 753 BC made them seem johnny-come-latelies compared to the Greeks, who dated their founding to the Trojan War in the twelfth century BC, or to the time of the king Actaeus (founder of Athens), whereas non-Jews tried to depict the Jews as a very recent people, e.g. Apion claiming that the exodus of Moses occurred in the first year of the seventh Olympiad (i.e. 752 BC). The efforts of early Jewish chronographers like Demetrius and Alexander Polyhistor were certainly aimed at proving the antiquity of the Jews, as evident also the materials used by Eusebius in his Chronicle, which put Abraham during the reign of Ninus (founder of Assyria), Moses during the reign of Ascatades of Assyria 450 years later, the Greek hero Perseus 90 years later, the expedition of the Argonauts approximately 140 years after that, the conquest of Troy some 75 years after that, and then King David ruled over Israel some 150 later. The attempt by the Jewish historian Justus of Tiberius to date Moses to the reign of Inachus of the Argives is another example. It has been noted that the LXX, produced in Egypt during the third century BC, has ages that -- when compiled into a synchronistic chronography -- made Shem (the ultimate founder of the Semitic people) not only an elder contemporary of Mizraim (the founder of Egypt) but also born c. 3300 BC -- older than the age of the Egyptian civilization itself as computed by Egyptian chronographers like Manetho. The LXX date of the Flood at c. 3200 BC of course is also old enough to accommodate the whole of Egyptian history, whereas the ages found in the MT, when computed chronographically, would yield a date of the Flood during the Old Kingdom -- which raised a credibility issue for Egyptians proud of their own antiquity.
