If you're as cool and hip as myself, you'll doubtless be aware of Bibleman, the classic collection of DVDs about a God-fearing superhero who fights for justice using the power of religion. The wearer of the full armor of God is a sight to behold -- greater than your stupid Spider-Man with his stupid mask that makes him look like stupid Zool because he is a big stupidheaded stupid. Does HE have our Creator and Father on his side? No, radioactive arachnid mutant photographers are not men of God.
Bibleman, however, is a true American hero and after years of my silently praying, I will finally be able to harness the power of THE LAWD in videogame form. With cutting edge graphics and gameplay mechanics, Bibleman: A Fight For Faith is going to be the most important videogame of the century. It's the ONLY videogame since Bible Adventures that comes Jesus-approved!

Ohhh man. This reeks of crappy cheesiness, just like the television show. Watching an episode of Bibleman makes you wonder if the creators are really Christian... the show is so ridiculous, it seems like it's parodying the religion rather than supporting it.
I'm a Christian, but I wouldn't let this stuff touch my imaginary kids with a 20 foot pole.
Geez, I would think that eventually, someone, somewhere would make a good faith-based game. Why am I constantly proven wrong? As a Christian, I'd like to see something good, but all we ever get is a disturbing pile of fecal matter.
I think Jesus would ask them to tighten up the graphics.
Otherwise, I'm fucking psyched about this game. I can't wait to see the main boss battle between Bibleman and his sinful past career working on Zapped!
Jim:I'm a Christian, and I more so have a problem with Christian protestors(such as the Phelps' and the WBC) as opposed to non Christian protest. WBC and the Phelps family give Christians such a horrible image it's rediculous. As if we don't have enough negative thrown on us, we need those nuts saying God hates fags and that 9/11 was God's work to teach America a lesson.
Without even looking at the author, I knew this post was written by the God-fearing, righteous hand of Jim Sterling. ;)
You know, admittedly, Bibleman is aimed at Christian children, so I don't really expect to truly "get" this, nor should any of us here expect to "get" this. But, honestly, I don't get this. Christians do stupid things, man. The "Wacky Protester"? Seriously, come on. I mean, I think they used to have villains dealing with sins, like "Greed Man" or something. But this is just dumb as shit. I'm sure the developers are well-intentioned, but this... no, kids, this is not how you improve the world... no. Just, no. Stop.
lol! so what the hell is the massage from this game, shoot anyone that has a belief different from your own with a Nerf gun and bang on his head with a plastic light saber until the sees Jesus?
bible man is hilarious. Oddly enough, i have a tape of one of the episodes at home, that shit is hilarious. It makes for a really good drinking game. Take a shot/drink/whatever everytime somebody quote scripture.
I'm kinda impressed with Destructoid's respect for Christianity.
Nobody here is really being a royal jerk about it.
Joystiq would have a ton of ignorant brats denouncing the whole religion because of this video. You guys are chill, and for that, I get you all candy bars.
People need to stop trying to make religion seem "cool." That's the problem. Religion will never be "cool" unless it's the gospel shit with the people making kick-ass music and having the time of their lives. That is the only time religion can be cool.
I so freaking whole heartedly agree with you. I've been so burnt out on legalistic and "churchy" people, that the only thing I can rely on is the legit thing. Sure I'm not perfect, but as a Christian, I know who is.
Bibleman is one of the greatest shows ever televised... If you're stoned and watching tv with a couple of atheist friends. I also recommend Way of the Master in that same situation.
I can safely say as a born again Christian I am offend by this game. Imagine someone making a game about something you firmly believe in but only they didn't and everyone starts to think that is what you believe. I earnestly despise the whole kiddy bible bullshit. I really do.

You know, I like the idea of a Samson game, but you know that they can never go near anything Biblical like that. They'd have a million conservatives down on their heads like, well, Christians in a lion pit. Still, I'd love to play as Samson, or even just as generic armies of the time. If nothing else, those were some violent, action-packed times. While it's not set in Biblical times, that's one reason I look forward to Assassin's Creed - the Crusades setting, and playing in Jerusalem.

just when i thought i couldn't have any less respect for organized religion.
/facepalm
This is genuine. I've watched many trailers for the legit Bibleman show over the years. It's quite a real franchise.
Maybe Fred Phelps can do a cameo?

Can I touch your imaginary kids?
Those developers are going to hell.
But that would be Idolatry!

Get it? 'Cause I'm a Jew.
Once again, it's not God I hate, it's His fanclub I can't stand.
So this one is protesting?
*shudder*
such evil

I just better not bring up the Wii.....
And I want to emphasize REALLY.

I rely on that. That makes my life worth living.
yeah, even though I'm Jewish, it is nice not to see anyone here bash Christianity as a whole over this.
Thank you, Satan!

Or the christian FPS for the SNES where you played as noah?
Or the Bible games game for the NES?
I seriously had too much good times collecting a tower of animals for the Noah game.
sweet.
but then again its nice to know programmers from 1992 can still get work today
