Let there be Bible Fight
From the folks at Adult Swim, comes perhaps the most sacreligious game ever. Bible Fight
From a mail list I'm on:
Bible Fight is a free web game on adultswim.com and part of their new strategy of offering original games for the masses to play when they should be working. Originally conceived as Sunday School meets Street Fighter 2, Bible Fight blends two of America's favorite past times - religion and violence - to tell the tale of a long lost contest between some of the greatest names of the Bible to see who among them is most deserving to sit at the right hand of God.
Search your hearts, dear friends, and take special care to listen for that quiet knocking. That knocking is Bible Fight, here to fill that persistent nagging emptiness that worldly possessions and success just can't satisfy. Bible Fight will cure what ails you. It will lift you, seperate you; it will turn you into a nine-year-old Hindu boy.
Naughty game designer! You'll burn! :-)

Do you know what music they use in the beginning of bible fight. I would really like to know.
If you do know please send me a note or a link at mikaels@dfmnet.dk
Thank you very much!!
Almost as cool as 'Battle of the Gods' for the 360. www.battleofthegods.com or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Gods
See and weep!
Speaking as a one-time game designer, I can say that the only real novelty about Bible Fight is the dressing. The user controls for the special moves are too awkward (taking as many as five key presses). Eve is probably the easiest character to play.
I took a professional-level look at the game, checking out each character's movements and the victory and death routines. The computer player has a distinct advantage in using the special attacks, of course. The designers should standardize the special attack controls so that they're simple one-key presses for each character (they can put a time delay in after each is used to make it fair).
I'm assuming that it's not complete as presented - the "Tournament' level of play (presumably player vs. player) is inactive, and debugging information sometimes appears at the top of the play screen. There's also the "Thou art not yet worthy" message on the character selection screen.
By the way, sir, it's "sacrilegious", not "sacreligious", "pastimes" not "past times" and there is no such word as "alot" - my dictionary (and it's a good one) doesn't have any entries between "alopecia" and "aloud".
The music is Gregorio Allegri's Miserere I hope this helped! You can find similar music on a cd called agnus dei.
