, the PC real-time strategy game from Left Behind Games Inc. (LBG), has been issued a “Teen” rating by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), which company executives hope will prove to critics that the game does not contain gratuitous violence, LBG said in a statement.

An ESRB rating of Teen is equivalent to the movie rating PG-13 and is given to video games that have content deemed suitable for ages 13 and older.

“As expected, we have received a Teen rating, putting all preconceived controversies to rest,” said Troy Lyndon, CEO of LBG. “As we have said all along, it is a game with positive values; there is no blood, no profanity, no gratuitous violence and no inappropriate content.”

The first title from LBG, Eternal Forces is set in post-rapture New York City, where players control the Tribulation Force as they attempt to save New Yorkers from the Global Peacekeepers, controlled by the Antichrist. The game will ship to stores in time for Christmas.
