FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Think you know your Bible?
Crave Entertainment Announces The Bible Game for PlayStation 2
and Game Boy Advance


Groundbreaking, innovative games provide fun for all ages

Los Angeles, Calif.-May 10, 2005-Crave Entertainment, a leading publisher of console videogames, today announced the upcoming release of The Bible Game for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the Game Boy® Advance handheld system. The first titles of their kind on current console systems, both games combine wholesome family fun with a engaging challenge of Biblical knowledge.

The Bible Game for PlayStation 2 casts players as contestants on a game show with fast-paced, "beat the buzzer" action and a comical off-screen announcer as emcee. 20 mini- and micro-games with 1,500 questions reinforce inspirational Old Testament teachings such as Jonah and the Whale, David and Goliath, The Tower of Babel, and many more. Multiplayer mode for up to 4 players encourages family members of all ages to play together, and provides a fun alternative for family game nights.

The Bible Game for Game Boy Advance combines action/adventure play style with trivia challenges. In their quest to protect the Armor of God, players may choose to play as either Billy or Jenny across seven levels including forest, snowy tundra, desert, and tropical island environments. Along the way they must answer questions from both the Old and New Testaments. Either the New International Version or King James translation may be selected, and three levels of difficulty keep the game accessible for all ages.

Scheduled for release in October 2005, The Bible Game will be available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and GameBoy® Advance handheld system for a MSRP of $19.99.

Ah, there is a more serious approach being taken with Bible games. I recall playing the old NES Bible Adventures title as Miriam, the sister of Moses. I threw baby Moses left and right and never received a penalty for it. LOL

I'd be more interested in a game about buddism or Greek mythology. Not that I know much about it but the subjects itself would be great.

Tell me they call that level Jacob's Ladder. Also tell me there's an option to turn it into the scientific definition of a jacob's ladder.

I'd play that.

Because as we all know, there's never been a video game to reference Greek mythology.
