VGW's Chris Totten: Several months ago there was a quiet buzz about a Bible-based MMO that would be released online. Based in the time of Abraham, the game featured Age of Empires-style building and resource management. While novel in concept, the game received below-average reviews. While it is still active and seems to have attracted some attention, it is far from a mainstream success. This, unfortunately, is considered to be one of the higher quality pieces in the relatively small library of games based on Biblical stories and imagery. We have games like Assassin’s Creed where killing (admittedly crooked) clergy is encouraged, but there are very few successful games where religious figures are examined by allowing players to experience their stories. Bible games, such as those created for the NES by Wisdom Tree, have traditionally been pretty awful, but does it have to be that way?
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Cultured Vultures: Let’s delve into Kratos’ long and rampageous history and find out which games are worth the hype and which are better left buried under the weight of Kratos’s might.
Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.
My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.
There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.
Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.
God of War 3 Remaster has sold 4 million copies since its inception, making the franchise PlayStation's most profitable gamer merch brand.
Haha I still remember my brother playing the opening scene on ps3!!!
Yeh he had to put the controller down his heart was beating too fast trying to get past first 10 minutes. He said "it's too much". Best thing I've ever seen in gaming. Haha
I know this is unpopular opinion, but I prefer these over the new ones. I’m not saying the new ones are bad or anything, but they sort of get boring to me, whereas the older games were like non-stop roller coaster rides.
I've wondered that too. There are so many epic, violent, passionate stories in the Bible that you could have a hayday if you were actually serious.
For instance, Ehud, assassinated King Eglon (Can't remember where, probably in Judges) by cloaking his dagger on his left cloak side instead of his right because palace guards always searched the right.
Eglon was so fat that when Ehud knifed him, the knife DISAPPEARED into his fat and the wound started bleeding fat and fecal matter. Assassin's Creed a la Bible anyone?
People say the Bible is fantasy, and whilst I don't believe that, video games are almost ALWAYS about fantasies. So using my powers of logic and reason, I see no reason why we don't have more Bible based video games.
no studio in their right now days will touch that subject unless they want to be crucify all the way to sunday
Wow, what a very well written article! I want the purposed King David game right now >.<
the reason i think they dont make any more of these kind of games based on it is because if it isnt a good game it could start a problem and maybe they cant find the right People to make it.
what i basicly mean is what
( arjman just said )
Darksiders got close with the Four horsemen.
Alot of ideas came from the Bible, but the game doesn't state "Bible Game"
