The latest installment in Microsoft's Halo franchise is a runaway success — already toppling sales charts with $300 million in sales in its first week. Halo 3 is so popular among youth that hundreds of churches have adopted it as a recruitment tool. Hosting violent, mature-rated gaming parties hasn't been the most popular of decisions. But at least 12-to-14-year-olds are fragging each other in a church basement, supporters might point out. Youth ministers use the game's plot as a way to discuss good and evil. One Georgia pastor uses Halo to draw parallels between God and the devil. As any teenager could have told you: Master Chief is God.
