Foolishly aiming the release of their game for the same weekend that Diablo III hit the market, Lightside Games decided to launch their religiously-themed Facebook Flash-game The Journey of Jesus: The Calling by making comments about Blizzard’s juggernaut. Fortunately, there’s people in the world willing to play terrible Facebook games so you don’t have to and give you the low-down on what you can expect. Amerist over at Better Than Faith has the review and some suggestions for better games to play.
Religious games are a strange lot. Some are devout, and they suck. Some are cash grabs, and they mostly suck. I think the best way to make a properly religious game is to make an entirely different game and just wrap it in religious experiences and awakenings. Dogma makes for poor gameplay.
