- juicebag, on 11/18/2007, -9/+120Praystation? Is that like a Japanese Playstation?
- whatthefu, on 11/18/2007, -0/+101They could make a pretty awesome, serious, violent video game out of some of the stories of the Bible. It would probably piss a lot of people off though.
- exomni, on 11/18/2007, -7/+69Sacrafice your own children for massive saint points!
Visciously murder entire cultures, killing all the men women and children but collecting prepubescent virgin girls to rape later for health boosts.
Sounds good to me. - futebollounge, on 11/18/2007, -1/+39was anyone else impressed by the picture of noah carrying 12 cows?
i sure was. - Ev3nt372, on 11/18/2007, -5/+35If you havent watched "The Angry Videogame Nerd Reviews Bible Games" you are missing out.

Halo is probably one of the most Atheistic video games of all time. You are fighting Religious Zealots who have declared a Holy War. The Grevemind constantly refers to himself as a monument to to your sins, and while fighting the flood you are called sinner. Not to mention that the Prophets are your enemy who want to bring about "The Great Journey"(Rapture) which is actually extinction for all life. Just like in real life. - thebellmaster1x, on 11/18/2007, -2/+30…………………..,-~*’`¯lllllll`*~,

- Corneileus, on 11/18/2007, -0/+23"Aww, I missed!"
"Nah, you just winged him, he's a Unitarian" - Area51mafia, on 11/18/2007, -0/+22No Billy Graham's Bible Blasters?
You gotta convert the heathens! - J6stik, on 11/18/2007, -2/+23Master Chief also acts as a savior and hope, though, especially in Halo 3. And also Jesus wasn't exactly praised by religious zealots. Remember when they endorsed his death and all? And he was called a sinner. I'm pretty sure that Christian or Jewish prophets aren't trying to bring about the rapture.
The symbolism goes both ways. If anything, Master Chief and the Heretic are more symbolic of Jesus.
But nevermind all that I just said, because I bet this comment will be dugg down for disagreeing with digg's popular consensus that Christianity is out to get you. - ZoomBoy, on 11/18/2007, -1/+19Anyone he meets is praying to not get sent to jail.
- TheKarmaPolice, on 11/18/2007, -4/+22best part: "Winning the game requires knowledge of a bunch of obscure bible trivia, constantly completing bizarre mini games that seem to be pointless rituals of repetition, and even if you do everything you're supposed to, God can randomly take everything away from you. In other words, it's just like being a devout Christian."
- KevinRoseMustDy, on 11/18/2007, -3/+21Catechumen = Doom?
- l00s3r, on 11/18/2007, -2/+19It would be cool to slaughter the Babylonians, I mean you could do stuff you couldn't do in Grand Theft Auto. Like kill children and rape women!
Isaiah 13:15-16
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Is%201 ... - Wiwoz, on 11/19/2007, -0/+16To those digging him down, he does have a legitimate point. I don't know that it could be called an addiction, but Muhammad did in fact marry Aisha bint abu-Bakr when she was quite young. There is some debate over precisely how old she was when this happened, but the tradition for centuries was that she was 6 or 7 upon marriage but that Muhammad waited until the onset of puberty at age 9 or 10 before consummating the marriage. It should be noted that in its cultural context this was not really unacceptable and so for hundreds of years Muslims had no problem admitting that this was so. There are some modern scholars who have suggested that she was as old as 19 when the marriage was consummated, but my impression is that this is more than a little revisionist. Make of it what you will, as it was a different time and everybody involved at the time very likely saw nothing wrong with it, but Muhammad almost definitely had sex with a 9 or 10 year old girl. It's not discrimination to say so. This is hundreds of years of Islamic tradition and scholarship.
- thebellmaster1x, on 11/18/2007, -0/+15It may have meant something like Donkey Kong Country.
- moofree, on 11/18/2007, -2/+17"...basically like Donkey Kong, only instead of controlling an ape..."
So Mario is an Ape? - fael, on 11/18/2007, -1/+13nope, Catachumen is more like the Halo for christians, Super 3D Noha's Arc will be the equivalent to Doom.. just way *****
- evi1, on 11/18/2007, -2/+14I don't know I had fun playing Bible Adventures when I was a kid. /atheist
- juicebag, on 11/18/2007, -1/+13How is Chris Hansen related to prayer at all?
- staticneuron, on 11/19/2007, -3/+15"Yep. You wouldnt even have to change the game much to make a catholic version. Just add a priest who has an addiction to 7 year old ass."
There.... I fixed it for you. - djpants428, on 11/18/2007, -0/+10only if the GTA game features moses in a lowrider "converting" a prostitue...
- euro22, on 12/17/2008, -2/+10Too far.
- Frostman3D, on 11/18/2007, -2/+10Because they're usually quite entertaining.
- JudgeMonkey, on 11/19/2007, -1/+9maybe you could read the damn article... it's exactly as it sounds, silly, stupid, or horrific religious games. You could be sure if you'd open your mind and let some knowledge in, instead of assuming and guessing.
- hcl40u, on 11/18/2007, -1/+9David vs Goliath for the Wii would be nice although limited. Or a free roaming GTA style game with Moses.
- spudnic, on 11/19/2007, -0/+7The Greeks had relationships with young boys too, and they invented democracy...
It's idiotic to judge ancient past by modern morals. - Scynet, on 11/18/2007, -0/+7You found the new definition of "far-fetched"! Congratulations!
- keyboardduder, on 11/19/2007, -0/+7No, its the Sunni Praystation. You can only play it facing east.
- pook187, on 11/18/2007, -1/+7Am I the only one old enough to give props to Joshua Davis?
- Fieri, on 11/19/2007, -0/+6Seriously. I'm Christian and I would love a role-playing game from an Old Testament book. The conquest of Canaan? Samson? David's insurgent rise to the monarchy? The Bible really is good storytelling even if you don't believe a word.
And translate it out of unreadable "English." - Matri, on 11/19/2007, -0/+5It's not. We're equal opportunity bashers.
- J6stik, on 11/19/2007, -0/+5"Most Christians don't care about Christian family values either."
That's a bold claim. You've met 'most Christians'? You hear about some ***** on the news advocating horrible things in the name of Christianity, but that's really not representative of average Christians. There've been gay kids at my church completely accepted by everyone, for example. Most of my friends and family friends are Christians and they're good people, and they try not to judge others, and they try to be good people, but you don't know them, nor do you make an effort to actually look at people under the 'Christian' umbrella. You're making bold statements about things you don't know about, but it works on digg people will support it, because they get all their information on these matters from people like you. - badjoke, on 11/19/2007, -0/+4Go go Jumpman.
- MattBD, on 11/18/2007, -1/+5You could arguably call something like Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri a Christian game if you play as Sister Miriam Godwinson, but they were a rubbish faction anyway (though they tended to be a pain in the proverbial if you had to deal with them). I preferred playing as the University or the Peacekeepers.
- Syric, on 11/19/2007, -0/+4You suck and I hate you.
/theist - inactive, on 11/19/2007, -0/+4If you want t get technical which you obviously do, Mario is not in Donkey Kong.
- J6stik, on 11/18/2007, -5/+9as someone's who was basically raised in a church... i've never heard of any of these... except on digg.
i'm pretty sure most christians don't give a ***** about any of these games, and you are all preaching to the choir. - inactive, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3Thats why there is the little red button over his comment. If your opinion is as simple as its good or bad, then shut up and click the button.
- AmnestyGenocide, on 11/18/2007, -1/+4nope
still fun now and again to dig around the old sites. some awesome ***** on there. - chugger1992, on 11/18/2007, -1/+4I see The Bible Game all the time in the Walmart Discount bin
- screensnot, on 11/19/2007, -2/+5Alright!
Three nuns were fighting over a bicycle. Mother Superior put a end to it though. She told the nuns that if they did not stop arguing, she'd put the seat back on. - srgtTarantula, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3JESUS TOOK MY WEED! THAT BASTARD!
- badenglishihave, on 11/18/2007, -0/+3Yes that's the joke. Apparently some people don't find it amusing haha
- MarkOfTheDead, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3Uhh.... the end of the review for The Bible Game which came in #2?
- diggrim, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3Spartan cruise missiles ftw
- ostracize, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2Just out of interest, I checked out what 1 and 2 Kings said at chapter 10:23-24. Nothing particularly interesting, but 1 Kings 10:25 said this:
"Year after year, everyone who came brought a gift—articles of silver and gold, robes, weapons and spices, and ***horses and mules.***" - funknjunk, on 11/18/2007, -2/+4I'm pretty sure this is just how the Chinese pronounce it =p
- cheeseron, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2aka read-the-*****-article
- frieddonuts, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2Kind of looks like Elder Scrolls- first person swordfighting?
