We should warn you though that it's not free free; there's a digital delivery or shipping surcharge of $5 or $6 respectively. Can't say we're filled with optimism for the plan, but apparently they know what they're doing ...

Uh, not even Jesus would play this game. Jesus would be playing Warcraft, laying the smack down on undead with Holy Smite!

i am a christian and the 4.99 download fee still isnt worth it. i think it is really a shame that crap like this game is even associated with christianity. I am a gamer and a christian and i still say dont bother.

I'm in the same boat. I'm christian and I'm not going to touch this.

I'm also a Christian, which is why I won't be downloading a game that supports violence as a part of Christianity's beliefs. Jesus preached peace. I sometimes wonder if I should even be playing violent video games at all, but they're fun and addictive. I think if this game would have been abysmally bad, but still was a good representation of Christianity, I would get it though. Anyway, cool to see some other Christian gamers on the webosphere!
I also see Joystiq was tipped by "jc"... Wonder if that was intentional, but it's funny either way.

This game will likely cause real-life violence, due to frustration of playing garbage and 5 dollars invested in dogshit. But who am i to question, because apparently "they know what they're doing"

yeah, but hillary loves bill ...
and obama is a secretly brainwashed pawn for the middle-eastern oil-financed muslim-agenda'd manchurian global corporation that seeks control of the novus ordo seclorum.
i'm thinking lesser of two evils here, and if you have to vote democratic, vote obama.

though i will bet a nickel that our next president will be a white male.

God I'd love to see a competent (and secularized) adaption of the Rapture-Apocalypse. I find the hypothetical situation fascinating... there is so much you can do with it.
I've played this game however, and it's not worth the postage. I guess there are some campy video clips in there, you might get a kick out of them.

why charge $5 for download distribution? No way their bandwidth is costing them that much and even if it was, ever heard of bit-torrent? Release it there, upload for a day or 2 and cut off and let it continue. Its just to make money. boo.
And I just checked, you can find it on the big public torrent sites already anyway.

Mike, that's because God always seems to be broke. That's what you get for trying to do the whole "build it in 7 days" thing. To get quality work done with, animals, and trees and shit included and working right out of the box in a week would have cost a fortune! Not my problem, go talk to the Pope, he's got a few bucks.
As for me, I'm holding out for Billy Graham's Bible Blaster.

I am holding out for Wrath of God 3: Finish the Apocalypse. Now that would be a Christian game worth playing - the Book of Revelations has some gaming potential.

I looked the review up, it's actually surprisingly complimentary.

I searched for this quote and it was in fact on Kotaku in its entirety, and, believe it or not, it was genuine. However, this was from an E3 2006 preview and was ONLY talking about the gameplay, not the story and premise. So, essentially, they took a quote from a previewer who was impressed that the game had competent, yet generic, gameplay.

Yeah that is usually the case. Most publishers grab quotes from news articles or previews of the game and not an actual review. Though it isn't just because said articles/previews are easier on the game than a full review. Sometimes it is just because the review isn't written yet, but generally the companies get to read rough drafts of the reviews before they are officially published.

Kotaku is this gaming blog that spends half their time posting stories about their kids that no one cares about expect the commentors who kiss their ass so they don't get banned for daring to have a different opinion. Oh, and they are only bloggers when it's convenient, otherwise they are serious journalists. They also have to make posts that are just lists of their "orginal posts" so they don't look like they just rip everyone else off, but half of their orginal posts are just stories about their kids or pics of cakes.

I abide by no religion and I don't need a game to tell me that these people should be paying me just to breathe the air on my planet. No wait. Nevermind. No amount of money is enough to share this planet with people that want it to end!! Get off my planet you a$$hats.
