Religion in videogaming is a hot topic of late. Hitman 2 has come under fire for it's 'racist' content which includes killing people that wear turbans. Ridunculous, I hear gerrid say, and I heartily agree. Is the lack of religion in gaming contributing to the fact that whenever somebody's views are revealed, the media somehow contrives to make the game evil and racist? Well, if it is, then I am the Future of Gaming, because I've thought up some simply fabulous ideas for games that involve both fun AND religion! Let's go:
MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING: THE GAME
The smash-hit play-turned-movie comes to the XBOX! You play A Greek Woman who decides to finally wed...a non-Greek man! Hilarity ensues! Involving stealth levels where you have to hide your fiancee from your family, RPG sections where you must talk to the various wedding organisers in order to get information on what the hell your wedding is going to be like, and of course, a tremendous lightgun section set during the ceremony! With astute observational humour, family cliches and lots of Greek in-jokes, this one's sure to both educate and excite!
YOU ARE GOD
In this cleverly-named third person action adventure, you play God. You must build up your legend, from scaring the crap out of Moses by becoming a burning bush to raping the poor, innocent Virgin Mary. Filled with easily recogniseable set pieces and stunning environments such as The Land Of Milk and Honey and The Top of Mount Sinai, you can live out the Bible as if you were really there! As the game goes on you must keep your faith metre full, and along the way you can pick up magic bonuses, such as Holy War tablets, and Terrible Natural Disaster cards. Featuring Graham Norton as the voice of God.
CIRCUMSYCHOPATH
You play as Muslim-turned-madman Choppy Your Peepee, who has finally snapped after thirty years of circumcizing teenage boys. Featuring four square miles of stunningly recreated Mecca, you can cruise the mean streets using your devastating arsenal of foreskin eradication tools to wreak havoc amongst innocent civilians. Also, you can take missions from the various prophets dotted around town, unlocking new temples and scriptures, and ultimately, the true vision of Allah.
SUPER MONKEY BUDDHISTS
Sega's latest masterpiece sees you controlling a sacred monkey, sealed in a ball of positive energy. You must make your way through thirty three levels, in order to reach true enlightenment and be free to live on in the heavens for all eternity. Featuring a barn-storming soundtrack from Nirvana (hahaha), and such party games as 'fasting' and 'sitting there under a tree with your eyes shut like you've just had a stroke'.
ESCAPE FROM AUSCHWITZ
The touchiest subject tackled by a videogame since EA Sport's "N****r Lynching 1925", you'll have to escape from the most atrocious concentration camp ever created. Featuring cut-scenes full of gassed women, starving adolescents and piles of shoes, the game is horrific...horrifically fun, that is! Sneak past the Nazis whilst they busy themselves torturing innocent children, help smuggle in food, and whatever you do...don't have a shower! The game will all be in black and white, except for some girl that symbolises something. Bad programming, most likely.
Thanks for reading. Have you got any ideas for religious games?

I think my posts are pretty good, I win the occasional GAD so they can't be that bad. And if I have that much time on my hands why am I not at the top of any word/letter count lists, or even in the all time ones? Seriously, think things through before you post them.

Usually your posts are of a high standard El Blokey, but I found that quite offensive, especially the Auschwitz one. I know you meant no harm, but it isn't the sort of material to even attempt to put a jokey slant on, and quite frankly I would be disappointed with SR if this was to be awarded GAD.

So you realise they're a joke, but they bore you? Don't read my posts then.

I've seen you continually make comments like this (even if they are joke)all week, and frankly - you're boring me!
And well done on the GAD Pk.

Oh gawd. I pick apart one rubbish post and all of a sudden I have a big ego...
Anyways, please, Quinty, keep your arguments in one nice orderly thread. Unfortunately, it seems like the Cheese topic has been hijacked but I guess we should just keep it all in there for now. That way, more people can praise me for my genius without fear of seeing their post devoured by name calling and lots of quoting.

Long time no see PK. No i don't want to get elected, these forums would be a better place without ****** elections. That outburst was a reaction to the stuff i've seen El Blokey write over the last 2 weeks, and especially about my stuff.
And as for you, Microdry, go into the other thread if you want an argument.

Jeez Harry. You've certainly got stressy after you didn't win GAd for a long time. What a surprise that you suddenly appear when you win GAD? All that time waiting must have left you bitter. Are you going to do this in every post, it's so immature, and that's ironic, seeing as you said Sr was "Too immature for you".
:P
:P

My more jokey game related posts go in chat (i.e. this and the wee little parties one) whereas my more serious ones (such as my rant on multiple playable characters) go in Prime.
No sinister undertone. I campaign in my campaigning posts :-D

Ah Quints angry...or jealous...or drunk, either way, he wants to be elected and he sees you as a threat.
There there Quint. Have a paracetamol.
