For those who can't get enough God on TV or in one of America's ten billion trillion Churches, B&H Publishing Group has the thing you've been waiting for! The Bible is coming to Xbox 360, via the Indie Games Channel. It will go by the name of Bible Navigator X, which is the best name ever.
For a mere 400 MS Points, you'll get full access to both the Old and New Testament, a search tool to find all the killings, a bookmarking system to save all the sexy bits and adjustable settings for those that need their Bibles a specific way.
"The Xbox isn't just secular entertainment anymore," B&H's Aaron Linne, hilariously. "We can use technology that other people developed to study Scriptures through a new medium. Some people are just more comfortable with a controller in their hands than a book."
I'd review this for Destructoid, but after playing Modern Warfare 2, I'm not quite sure I've got it in me for another game with a totally nonsensical plot.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

DOUBLE BURN!
And of course, since this isn't coming to the PS3, that means that Sony is the Devil. Literally. You can't argue with FUNDAMENTALIST LOGIC!
Man I can't wait until I get to the part in which God tells Joshua to kill every man woman and child in Jericho. That was so humane and nice and loving, and I can enjoy the niceness and humanness of god even more when I read about his sponsored genocides on my 360.
Brings a tear to my eye it does.
Hell hath no fury like the red ring of death.
I heard Jesus comes back from the dead as a reaver of souls, using his new found abilities to seek vengeance upon those who cast him down.
So it's like Soul Reaver, but with a beard.
Only to Jesus, Adam & Eve, the Jews, and Sodom.
Anyway I'm just surprised this hasn't been done before. Every other app capable piece of technology has at least four or five Bibles.
I wanna know what it gets rated. Of course the devs are gonna want a rating for kids but, well, it's pretty fucked up book.
Someone should put the Skeptic's Annotated Bible up.
Satan bist dus?
I'm sorry I made a joke about Modern Warfare 2's plot.
Isn't it Destructoid policy to actually play through the whole game before reviewing it anyway?
I don't think this is like that, it's not going to reach anybody who doesn't want it.
I'd like to see the ESRB rating for the Bible.

Seriously. To appeal to the youth??
Lol gay people hahahaha, they're so different and we can joke about them.
There you go, double standards delt with.
Anyway, I won't say anymore before some Jehovah's Witness starts spouting nonsense.
That is a perfect example of being hypocritical if you ask me. Both things have to do with personal choice, freedom of choice, free will, etc. Yet the majority of people in the world only respect one of those choices? Apparently, if you choose to be gay, everyone is going to support you and tell you how courageous you are, but choosing to believe in God means you are an idiot, and it's ok for you to be the butt of jokes, and sarcastic remarks.
I shouldn't really be surprised. Most of the blog posts by staff members here at Destructoid seem to be trying to get attention, or get a rise out of people. I just find it very ironic, and hypocritical that people tip-toe around the possibility of offending homosexuals, but any other type of "choice" is fair game.
/sigh
