MURRIETA, Calif., Nov. 2, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Left Behind Games Inc. (OTCBB:LFBG), dba Inspired Media Entertainment, a leading publisher of Christian video games, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Lenox Hill Partners of New York to assist in identifying 12 potential acquisition candidates in the next six months.

Troy Lyndon, CEO, says, "Although we are pursuing our own internal growth, we are also seeking to expand the business through strategic acquisitions. Of the 12 acquisition candidates, it is our hope to find at least one that will align with our goals and enhance our profitability. Specifically, we are looking for other Christian media or family-friendly businesses. Interested parties may contact us through our Investor Relations web page at www.inspiredmedia.com."

Christian products have gained popular acceptance in the music and book sections of retailers over recent years. The newest Left Behind and Charlie Church Mouse PC video games as well as Keys of the Kingdom are the three titles being piloted in approximately 100 Texas Walmart stores for determining customer interest. Consumers interested in finding the nearest Walmart carrying the games can go to www.inspiredmedia.com/walmart.

For many years, Walmart has sold gospel music and both fictional and non-fictional Christian books, including the well-known Left Behind book series which has sold more than 65 million copies. Yet, there are few, if any, moral or Bible-based video game choices for youth and adults alike.

The demographics in Texas make it an ideal testing ground for Left Behind PC Games where there are over 23,000 churches(1). Texas ranks first in the nation in the number of Evangelical Protestants (over 5 million), second in number of Mainline Protestants (over 1.7 million) and third in number of Catholics(2). There are almost 25 million residents in Texas(3), and Christians represent the greater portion

I dunno, "Conquest of Caanan" might be interesting. "Smite the '-ites', smite smite smite!"

"The Two Age Model" is probably a bit too cerebral and dry for your average "35 goin' on 13" pale skinned gamer.

What a great idea!

Every day it seems like we lose more youth to the secular culture. Why not create a counter culture, when teaching Sunday school the younger children, especially the boys, never wanted to discuss the finer points of doctrine. However, they were always animated when we talked about Elijah and Mt. Carmel.
