Jesus would be the ultimate platform game star! He can come back from the dead, shoot holy kamehamaha energy blasts, walk on water, and kick demon @**!
I would like to see more Biblicle games, but they always end up being terrible. I think relligous games could be quit fun if you don't have to make it "kid friendly." Who want's to play a game where you can be God, but instead of smighting your enemies you make them sit down and drink tea while you politely ask them to change their ways?

This would make an interesting mini comp: Make a game based on the Bible. Points would be awarded for accuracy to the Bible, Concept, and gameplay.
You shouldn't go here, there are crazy swedes who mumble about cucumbers:

Are all you people mad? Religious games have worked excellently. Just look at all the Sim/ Age of Empires games, almost all of them are from a God-like perspective! HOHOHO.
HOHOHO? HAH, that gives me a good idea, ulitmate fighter game: JESUS vs SANTA.
Now, I'm highly un-religious, but christ, Jesus would make a great platform character. Just imagine the endless sequels!
'JESUS TWO: THE SECOND COMING'
But ofcourse, all the religious groups would get their knickers in a bunch, complaining that Jesus' beard isnt long enough, or 'there's no way they had bazookas in biblical times' or something.
As long as it wasnt preachy, it could definately work.
'oh yeah? he's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?'
Also last ressurection an click game that was actually pretty good but had lots of controversy with it particulary one site which i think said the creator of it was the Devil himself
It depends somewhat about HOW you use religion in games.
Age of Mythology is an realtime strategy game (if you do not know it) that replaces the old Age of Empires 2. In the game is three different sides. Each side is based upon an old religion (a mythology): The Norse Mythology, the Egyptian and the Greek. The heroes you can get is based on historical characters and by worshiping gods you can advance in the game. The Norse Mythology has Odin, Thor, Freia, Loke and more.
As such there is a kind of religion in the game though the game itself is not religious. Personally I am not against religion in games. It is up to the developers to decide what to make and up to players to decide what to play.
