      I played the 1st on PC, and the 2nd and 3rd on PS2, and I agree. I'd say the 2nd was the best, and they went downhill from there.
      After the third the games really became based much more on the movies than on the books, and suffered because of it. The covers really reflect that.

      I might have to see about trying to find the 2nd game for PC online, because I'd like to play it. I got it for Christmas the year it came out, but our computer wasn't able to run it at the time. Later by the time we got a better computer, my sisters had thrown away the box that had the activation code, so I was never able to install it. I only got to play it later on PS2 after I borrowed it from a friend.
      After watching this video, I'm tempted to go find the first game again too. So much nostalgia.

      Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20.
      Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho.
      Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!
