the bible game- xbox

Or hell, how about an RTS?

Two sides, Heaven and Hell, squaring off for control of Earth. Winning side takes the fight to the other realm. Demon and Archangel hero units. It could work.

There was a FPS, was'nt there? The hack of Doom?

Super 3D Noah's Ark on the SNES. It was based on the Wolfenstein-3D engine. Wolfenstein being, of course, a Jewish videogame (take out those Nazis for grampa!). I'm sure we'll next see a puzzler starring the Dali Lama.

And, you know, despite all the snickering and laughing at what is, essentially, a Simpsons' punchline ("no, you winged him, now he's a Unitarian"), some sort of strategy or world-building game based on the history of Christianity could be very good. Something Sid Meier-like. Goodness knows you'd be wading a minfield to end all minefields (Defining "winners" and "losers" in the context of religion? Very bad idea.)

I think something that actually drew upon religious traditions could make a good videogame, instead of turning it into a commodity. But that's another whole can of worms I'll be wise to avoid opening.

the irony is that ive got several copies of bible adventures for the nes and I've always gotten shit sbout them, this game on the other hand is actually worse! so, who's laughin' now bitches? honestly though, isn't this game just basically bible jeopardy? Pat Robertson should love it! "I'll take 'how to assassinate latin-american politicains for $800 Alex'"

Or hell, how about an RTS?

No one remembers Afterlife?

Not exactly the same thing, I know, but it's worth a mention.
