You have got to be fucking kidding me. I am not sure if this is the funniest or the most horrifying video game concept I have ever seen.

GOOD LORD! IT'S SO FUCKING AMAZING, I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S FAIL OR WIN!
A webcomic brought up this as a gag awhile back. Dueling Analogs or Penny Arcade I think. It's :horrormirth: as gag or truth.
I can't tell trolling from reality anymore. This is going to be one hell of a decade.
Uh ........ I ...... :aaa:
Wow. It's a combination of :lulz: and :x . If that's real though, I sort of hope they have a smite the unbeliever minigame.
:horrormirth:
I guess we'll find out tomorrow when preorders open up whether it's a gag....
Am I the only one who things this game might be amusing as hell to play?
This has got to be a joke (I hope it is anyway).
And :lulz: at "rating Pending"
GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/89038.html) seems to think it's for real.
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96208-Mass-We-Pray-A-Holy-Hoax-or-Just-a-Really-Bad-Game
either way it's kind of goofy yes, but not as bad as the left behind game, probably be much more entertaining too.
:lulz: :lulz: :lulz:
The whole congregation are a bunch of whiteys.
I need a copy of this.
I suspect hoax on the basis that the 'cross' controller would be called a 'rosary' in properly-researched satire or a product that has a chance of succeeding. Especially with the fucking beads.
I had to watch the thing twice.
The first time, I thought it was the greatest thing I'd ever seen. The second, I was filled with a kind of mild horror...
1) What's fun about Ash Wednesday? That's when Jesus died, wasn't it? (Was raised methodist...) 2) Aren't concepts like transubstantiation a little complex to talk about in a video game?
Ash Wednesday is just the first day of Lent
Ah. It's been a while since I've been to... No, I take it back, it's only been a couple of years since I've been to church. My cousin made me go when I visited them, but they're baptists. Scary folk...
But again, what's fun about Ash Wednesday?
They should make a game where your a Roman soldier and you get to whip the Jesus. It would be perfect for the Wii and would give Mel Gibson a constant hard on
Same guy who does this:

Its all the fun of dressing up and putting ashes on your head in somber ceremony
not all denominations celebrate it.
The mainstream ones do, but many of the freaky ones that would put out a game like this don't
Makes me believe its a joke
but I could be wrong
stranger things have happened
Besides their Christians. It's their DUTY to be weird.
Hah.
My druid friend Andrew was working cashier @ a local grocery store a few years ago when a woman and her 2 little girls came through the line. He noticed something smudged on one of the little girl's foreheads and immediately bent down, saying "Little girl, you've got something on your forehead..." He licked his thumb and came about an inch from wiping it off before the scowl on her mother's face (and the smudges on her and the other daughter's forehead) reminded him that it was Ash Wednesday.

hm... perhaps they could get away with that if it was one of the Lego games....

Um... no, its when he went to the desert.
Nothing is fun about Ash Wednesday. You have a hangover from mardi gras and its an extra day of church.
Maybe it's something like:

I only wish this heralded the end times. I think it is optimistic, however. Things will probably get worse and keep getting worse, with no discernible apocalypse in sight.

SHE'S A JEW AND JEWS KILLED CHRIST. MEL GIBSON SAID SO.
soooo....
mystery solved:
you go to the 'preorder page' and it has a popup that says you are damned to hell as a sinner, because holding a mass that is not ordained by official clergy is some grave sin.... and then you are sent to a preview for Dante's Inferno game....
hoax for purpose of marketing.
ETA: i notice in the wiki page on the game, that in the first circle of hell you get to battle (among other things) unbaptized babies!
it's a good thing.
It was a beautiful hoax.
Yeah, but Dante's Inferno looks real. That could make a kick-ass game.

Apparently there's an achievement for killing a certain number of the babies. I can't remember what it's called, Penny Arcade commented on it.
Absolutely genious viral marketing. Someone out there figured out that this site would attract attention from the kind of people who would play a game set in hell. $$$
unfortunately all it did was make me wanna play the christian game
:sad:
hey at least it would be a video game I may actually be good at
though I'd probably end up fucking that up too
The crucifix controllers only have one button. It can't be that complicated. You either believe it or your don't.
I've played this. It sucks. Theres no fucking way to kill the boss character :|
You're not supposed to kill him, you're supposed to write an essay reasoning him out of existence.

Now I kinda want that game, in full perspective of its' shortcomings.

Transubstantiation doesn't seem all that complex to me. "The cracker both is and is not Jesus."
especially in a videogame, you can just make it flash back and forth at 70fps.
