Extreme Bible-reading app coming to Xbox 360

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

For 400, you'll soon be able to pick up the awesomely-titled Bible Navigator X on Xbox Live Indie Games. Sure, developer B&H could have opted to choose a more modest title like Bible Navigator 360 or plain ol' Bible Navigator -- but this app is meant for the kids. "This is also a great tool for youth ministers who teach in youth spaces that already have Xbox consoles in them," the press release says. "It's a quick way to create teaching aids from equipment you already have."

X will include HCSB versions of the Old and New Testament, search capabilities and an awesome animated intro. According to the press release, this marks the first time the full Bible can be viewed through a games console. "The Xbox isn't just secular entertainment anymore," said Aaron Linne, B&H Publishing Group's executive producer of digital marketing. Certainly, some players may want to download this after the "No Russian" level from Modern Warfare 2.

"The Xbox isn't just secular entertainment anymore,"

that should be the slogan for the next gen xbox

[SMELTN]

I actually love that. Definitely going to get that. Great for Youth Groups and Neighborhood Outreach groups.

Just what everyone needs, more religion. /sarcasm

Epic waste

Epic Win

Need a Ps3 version now.

nothing could be more hilarious than playing a bunch of war games, a little GTA IV gay tony, and then loading up the bible game before dinner.

[Black Flash]

"this app is meant for the kids" and that kids is the story of Jesus's excruciating death... Now for the story of what happened to the people of Sodom.

This might be the beginning of the crusades against the Wii and the PS3 :laugh:

Let's see Jack Thompson get this banned.

[Shadrack]

Gotta be praying before you're playing.

[Growled Member]

I just can't see this being that popular. People buy consoles for games.

How extreme can bible-reading get?

The game looks disappointing, I was expecting something like the extreme ironing.

[Huleboeren]

This is disgusting

One issue though, I wonder if the power of God will RROD your 360?

[techbeck]

Ummm, who cares? Dont like it, dont buy it. Consoles are not just for games anymore. Why else would there be Netflix and soon Myspace and Facebook.

Besides, I have seen a lot worse games made for the 360 that this program.

[kaffra]

this will be quite interesting, we will soon have the holy console wars.

wanna read the bible? go to a church and ask for one, they would gladly give you one, why are they charging 400 points for a digital one?

Because these fanatical worshipers will buy anything

Or maybe the power of god will prevent it. :sorcerer:

You've got to have something to spend all those left over points on you get stuck with due to point denominations never being exactly what any game costs.

this would lead to some true epicness when it helps you memorize quotes and stuff from the bible, and then you can fire up the No Russian level in front of your friends and go all evangelical on everyone... like spewing biblical quotes as you mow down everyone in the level

::edit:: kinda like that movie with that black guy with an afro who's always in a suit... he'd say something from the bible everytime he pops someone
