I've checked the date, and it definitely isn't April, so this new press release must be true. Yes, the UK's first ever bible game is released this summer. The imaginatively titled "Bible Game" is a, "non-denominational, family-oriented multiplayer Bible quiz game." The fictional show is called "Do Unto Others" and points can be lost by falling foul of the "Wrath of God" panel. Erm, perhaps I'll just let the release carry on from here.
"The multiplayer mini-games include challenges based on Jonah and the whale, the Tower of Babel, David and Goliath, Parting of the Red Sea and Creation. They can also be played as a fun game in their own right, minus the game show element if players want a more action-packed experience. Accompanying the frantic action in these challenges are music tracks from some of the hottest Christian rock artists of the moment."
Ned Flanders will be pleased, but what about the UK's 6million plus PS2 owners? Are they ready for religious gaming? Or is the PS2 so integrated in the mainstream that it can support niche product such as this?
