Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
One should avoid playing with the games that show the slogans of other religions and anti-Islamic organizations. However, if the game does not include glorification or submission to those slogans, and they only appear at random, then we have already issued some Fataawa that it is not forbidden to play with such games, based on the statement of some scholars that it is not forbidden to look at the cross –which is the greatest symbol and slogan of disbelief.
The symbols of things that not worshipped – such as what you mentioned in the question – are less serious and less harmful than the symbols that are worshipped – like the cross.
Finally, you should know that a Muslim should utilize his time with what is beneficial to him in his religion and his worldly matters, and he should avoid being addicted to games, that would waste his time. A person is responsible for his time, as in the Hadeeth that reads: “The feet of a servant will not move on the Day of Judgment until he is questioned how he spent his life.” [At-Tirmithi –who graded it as Hassan Saheeh]
Allah knows best.
