Previously, on Photoshop Phriday:
Photoshopping isn't drawing a completely new image -- It's editing images to create a new image, such as editing one image or combining several images. The contest usually lasts for a fortnight. Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint, or any other programs can be used. Please make sure your image doesn't exceed the width of the screen.

My main man Jack Thompson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_%28attorney%29), crusader against videogame violence and sex, has finally done it! He's convinced the governments of the world to give him free reign over the video game industry! His first act as Lord of the Games is to dissolve the ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) and form the new JTRB (Jack Thompson Ratings Board). In order for any game to be released, it has to comply with his rules:
1) No sex or nudity of any sort
and
2) No violence of any sort (unless it is the brutal slaughter of a video game executive)
So, you've been called upon to help save your favorite violent/sexy game by adapting it to fit JT's rules.
Modify the box art or a screenshot from a game to make it comply with the new JTRB standards. (Don't forget the new JTRB rating!)
I single handedly saved the Mortal Kombat (http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/boxshot.php?pid=925007) series with this image.

Jack Thompson almost threw it out but then I revealed the ending to him:

Jesus wins!
Next (because I thought of it over lunch) I rescued the Max Payne (http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/boxshot.php?pid=913964) series and invented a new genre in the same stroke of genius.

Now it's your turn. Strip all the evil from a game and let's see what's left!
Good luck, and thank you for joining in His fight.
Chip's challenge, thought to be too violent thanks to it's monsters and fires, as well as discriminatory against earlier vacuum tubes, in addition to being very suspicios with the main character (a pale computer nerd) has been renamed and recreated as:
Chip.

Yea, i know it's rather lazy on my part. But I just couldn't go without doing this. soon I'll have a real entry, probably last minute.
Okay well,
The editing's not great, I know, but this was a really good topic so I had to try.

That's right, no blood and gore here!

One week down, one to go, and a lot of games left to be absolved of all sins!
Working towards this holy cause, I have saved another beloved series from eternal damnation!

We need more people to join the crusade!
OK, there doesn't seem to be a smudge tool in Paint.NET so saorry for some of the artefacts in this, but...

Edit: Forgot the rating!
Hah! This is probably the most creative batch of entries I've seen in a Photoshop comp so far!
Couldn't resist making another.

Allright, time's up on this one...
And as Rui suggested, this is an excellent bunch of entries! I'm having a very tough time deciding.
The two that made me laugh the most were "Need for Speed Limits" and "Quaker." But all the others were extremely well done... I'm torn! I'm going to give the win to Steve because of his mad Photoshopping skillz.
Well done Steve, you've saved videogames! And now you can start the next competition.
Yay!
Lots of good entries, so I'm honoured to have pipped this one!
