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?

A) Do you ever shut up?

B) I've noticed you've suddenly started posting your "GAD Attempts" in FOG Chat - oh how ironic there's an election coming up!
