The Aetherlight: Chronicles of the Resistance (Excellent)
 |
| Play for free on Android or iOS, or purchase for PC and Mac |
Platform: PC, Mac, Android, iOS
Publisher: Scarlet City Studios, 2016
Wow! This is an impressive game, and I certainly hope Scarlet City
continues the series. Right now, you can play through the first 3
episodes in which you help the Scarlet Man (Jesus) restore The Great
Engineer (God the Father) to the throne of this steampunk kingdom. The
graphics are great, the gameplay is great, and there is plenty of
allegorical content referencing Biblical stories. This is a must-play
game for any Christian gamer.
+ + +
aMazing Bible (Excellent)
This is a different sort of game that has you moving a red and blue ball
simultaneously through different mazes as you walk through the Bible.
Each maze is different, and you can do different things to get through
them, so you won't get bored easily. It's a fun challenge and a review
of major portions of the Bible at the same.
+ + +
Break-Out the Bible (Excellent)
Publisher: DivineGames, 2002
Bounce the ball into the pieces to score points and reveal the Bible
verse and graphic. There are three difficulty modes that determine the
speed of the ball and plenty of levels to provide for extended gameplay.
+ + +

Platforms: PC, Mac
Publisher: Digital Praise, 2005, 2007
This game uses dance pads and popular Christian music tracks. Get your
exercise and worship on at the same time! Plus, there are plenty of
expansion packs that work with both games.
+ + +
This quiz game includes difficulty levels, multiplayer, and various game modes to let you answer a variety of questions or hone in on specific topics. In Race Mode, there's the added challenge of the timer. Besides the classic Church Edition, you can also purchase the African American edition, which adds a little color to the game's artwork.
+ + +
Guitar Praise (Excellent)
Play along to some familiar Christian songs, both old anew! You can also get an expansion pack to add more tracks.

and thinking about the time of the kings and prophets in Israel's
history. There's also a lot of variety and strategy involved, making it a
very solid game. If you like the game, check out the original board
game version.

Light Rangers: Mending the Maniac Madness (Excellent)
 |
| Purchase |
Platform: PC, Mac
Publisher: Digital Praise, 2005
The Light Rangers receive their mission from their mastermind Sunday
School teacher and need to save the children of Angeltown from various
sinful attitudes caused by the Maniac Brainiac. It's a great game with a
good story, fun animation, and plenty of platforming action. There's
also just the right amount of Christian teaching. As a bonus, you can
play a Christian trivia game.
+ + +
That Dragon, Cancer (Excellent)
While not really a game, this interactive experience will encourage you
as you walk through the life of Joel's parents, hearing real
conversations that they had during the course of their young son's
illness and eventual death.

Adventures in Odyssey and the Great Escape (Good)
 |
| Purchase |
Platforms: PC, Mac
Publisher: Digital Praise, 2005
The gameplay is fairly simple as you play through a series of activities
from the perspective of being in a video game. The story is a great
illustration of temptation and our need to resist it with God's help.
Watch the trailer!
+ + +
Play against the computer or against players in this game show trivia
competition. Solomon is your host, and you can set the difficulty to an
appropriate level.

BibleMan: A Fight for the Faith (Good)
 |
| Purchase, if you can find it! |
Platform: PC, Mac
Publisher: Covenant Studios, 2005
Based off of the episode of the series, you play as BibleMan and his
teammates, defending the city against the Wacky Professor. Is it campy?
Yes! That's part of what makes it fun. Also, the cutscenes are from the
TV show, which brings back a lot of nostalgia for certain gamers. The
only detriment is that gameplay can be a little slow, as you can only
defend rather than attack.
+ + +
 |
| Purchase |
Platforms: PC, Mac
Publisher: Digital Praise, 2008
This game has a decent story and an animated art style that holds up
fairly well. It also has a mix of puzzles, roleplaying, and platforming.
Unfortunately, the platforming is rather difficult to control, bringing
down the overall gameplay experience.
+ + +
FIVE: Champions of Canaan (Fair)
Your mission: infiltrate the arenas to disrupt the sacrifices to Moloch.
The gameplay: repetitive. This is mostly a fighting game. The graphics
are great, and the ability to upgrade your gear is a plus, but there's
not much to the story. If you simply want some quick-paced fun,
Champions of Canaan can hit the spot, but there's not enough depth here
to play for an extended period.
+ + +
FIVE: Guardians of David (Fair)
Play as 5 of David's mighty men as you walk through some of the major events in the famous king's life.
+ + +
Sight's Adventure (Poor)
What is going on in this game?! The amateur art style would be charming
if I could understand the story. You start walking around your town with
no objective of where to go. Along the way, you meet friends and
collect different neckties that give you different abilities. At certain
points, you have to answer a trivia question based on a Bible verse. I
feel like there's the beginnings of something worth playing here, but
for now, it's all just a bit too random.
