" Christian games are a favorite subject here at GSW, so we note with glee the press release announcing the new Gospel Champions PC game series from Silver Burdett Ginn Religion (which sounds like a liquor company, if ever we heard it!) and Third Day Games, Inc.

Apparently: "The new Gospel Champions series takes children back to biblical times by recreating Gospel stories in a state-of-the-art game that intertwines action/adventure gameplay with sequenced elements of Bible stories."

The gameplay is explained simply: "Children control their Zack or Mary Martha character to avoid adversaries and solve puzzles that lead them to an animation of each part of the story. Once they have found all the story elements, they then perform tasks related to the story. For example, they might bring five sick people to Jesus to be healed or help Zacchaeus pay back those he cheated." You also have to get people to come down from trees. "


they really need to make a religious game where I play jesus and kick heretic ass

heh - when my friends and I were more into arena-style fighting games, we had an idea to make one where you fought with a major character from each religion. Jesus used his cross mercilessly. We'd probably have to update Mohammad to include calling in a suicide bomber (like the tag team animations from later games). Ouch!

heh I've also thought it'd be a good idea for a game ..you could have arch types like the Southern Preacher, the Mystical Shaman etc

you should check this site out:

Hmm, sounds like those quests are rather simplistsic. I'd probably give it a whirl if it had some more classic adverture style puzzles that actually made you use your brain...oh wait, this is a religious game: No Brain Required! <--Hopefully that will be in the disclaimer...it could seriously help boost sales! :laugh:

I just hope the Ministry for the Censoring of Pretty Much Everything (i.e. the ESRB) examines this title with a fine-toothed comb as they have so many other titles--who knows what they'll find!? Maybe a little hot coffee for Zack and Mary?! Good God! :E
