Religious Games

[General-Beatrix]

I was watching the news and the news says that Christian video game makers are planning to make Christian video games as an alternative to "violent" games. Would buy or play them?

*Can I post this?*

I will if they are fun and there has been at least one bible game I found fun.

You played as Mary, Joseph and a camel. Mary had to jump through town, Joseph through some mountains/river area and the camel through a cave. It was fun.

Having said that, it was on the NES and didn't come close to beating most games but it wasn't bad at all. I much prefer the difficult Ninja Gaiden(I HATE YOU JAQUIO!)

If they start doing that I'll buy a bunch of violent, anti-religious, scatological, sex-filled video games in protest.

Way ahead of you (look at sig). No, I'm not a Satanist.

I think they're trying to respond to FF Tactics.

I also think they're a few years late.

[Del Murder]

Alright! Full conversion!

Grand Theft Auto: Jerusalem. Naturally you play as Jesus.

The best mission is the one where you have to do a driveby on Judas with your homies John, James and the Buddha (Hey, if CJ can have Cesar...)

I'll bet people would scream like little girls if that happens.

There's been many biblical games already. None of them have ever sold well. Probably because most of them are edutainmental or just plain stupid. Konami's Noah's Ark got blasted by somethingawful.com recently.

I wouldn't buy them at all. If I can't bear games where religion is involved but isn't criticised, how can I bear a game where religion is going to be the main theme AND the "good part" of the plot? No, I wouldn't buy it...NEVER...

Seriousness aside...I'd love to see a GTA:Jerusalem, but it would be great to play as Satan too...And the police would be the apostles...How fun! *starts shooting apostles in his mind*

Don't take what I said that seriously; it's not my intent to criticise anyone's religion...But that would be just FUN.

Now that's the sort of premise that makes religion fun.

I've got no problem with anyone making Christian games, but honestly, I wouldn't play them no matter how good they are. I'm not a Christian myself, and if I really wanted some exposure to Christianity, I'd go to a church.

Since it IS a religious game, you could play as Satan.

P.S. I am NOT a satanist and I am NOT criticising anybody's religion. *oh god am i?*

Or a like on that Simpsons episode where Rod and Tod are pplaying a game and the object is to convert all the Heretics.

Maybe what i meant to say is that they are making MORE religous games.

I think that game that rod and tod was called the Bible Blaster or something.

OFF TOPIC

Rod or Todd:"Quick! Convert the heathens!" Bart: Alright full conversion!

[Erdrick Holmes]

Billy Gram's Bible Blaster.

They're already making some, I think I posted about one some time ago.
