Bible references in video games.

[bluesoul]

This thread is for the discussion of bible references in video games.

In the computer game The Binding of Isaac you play as a child called Isaac in an obvious homage to the tale of Abraham and Isaac. The game seemed like a call for attention to me at first but seemed to have a much deeper story than that. I really enjoyed it.

In the video gameFallout: New Vegas, you are able to go to Zion Valley after a nuclear apocalypse. There you meet many Christians, like Joshua Graham who quotes many scriptures from the Bible in matching situations.

There seems to be this mind blowing metaphor to super mario brothers relating to scriptures in the bible Here.

If there are any more please feel free to state which ones.

Did your mom take your games away and you're making a case for getting them back?

[bluesoul]

nope, haha. I just wanted to share my experience with these and was interested to see others opinions or experiences with them.

Partially relevant but the RPG, Arc The Lad, resembled the story of Cain and Abel quite a bit.

[bluesoul]

bump.

I read somewhere about a game featuring Enoch, or, rather, Metatron.

FFXI incorporates a lot of world religions thinly veiled. There was even a slight reference to the church in one part, I think regarding blue mages but not sure if I remember right.
