Paolo is the founder of MolleIndustria, an Italian team of artists, designers and programmers that aims at starting a serious discussion about social and political implications of videogames by exploring the intersection of ideology and electronic entertainment.

Faith Fighter. We can no longer consider video gaming as a marginal element of our everyday lives. In recent years, the turnover of the video game industry has exceeded that of cinema, and there are a growing number of adult and female players. Now video games are an integral part of the global cultural industry, and they are in a strategic position in the ongoing processes of media convergence. Faith Fighter is the ultimate fighting game for these dark times. Choose your belief and kick the shit out of your enemies. Give vent to your intolerance! Religious hate has never been so much fun.
