christian video game reviews

Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about them Christian video games, you know, the ones they say are good for your soul. I ain’t no gamer, mind you, but I seen my grandkids playin’ somethin’ fierce, and they tell me there’s games for everythin’ now, even for us church-goin’ folk.

So, what are these Christian video games all about? Well, from what I gather, they’re supposed to teach you somethin’ about the Bible, or help you be a better person, you know, like Jesus wants. Some of ’em tell stories straight from the Good Book, like Noah and the Ark, or David and Goliath. My grandson showed me one where you play as Moses, partin’ the Red Sea and all that. It was kinda neat, gotta say.

Now, some folks might say, “Why do we need video games about the Bible? Can’t we just read it?” Well, I reckon it’s just a different way of learnin’. Kids these days, they like things that are interactive, things that move and make noise. And if a video game can get them interested in the Bible, well, I don’t see no harm in that. It’s like my pastor always says, “Gotta meet people where they are.”

But not all Christian video games are created equal, that’s for sure. Some are pretty good, with nice graphics and fun gameplay. Others, well, they look like they were made on a potato. You know, all blocky and pixelated. And the stories ain’t always the best, neither. Sometimes they’re kinda preachy, or they twist the Bible to fit their own ideas.

I’ve heard tell there’s websites and groups out there that review these games, tell you which ones are worth playin’ and which ones to avoid. That’s mighty helpful, I reckon. ‘Cause ain’t nobody got time to waste on a bad game, especially when you could be readin’ your Bible or spendin’ time with your family.

• Some games are good for the whole family, kids and grown-ups alike.
• Some are more for teenagers, dealin’ with stuff like peer pressure and temptation.
• And then there’s those that are just plain fun, with a Christian message sprinkled in.

My grandaughter, she likes them games where you gotta work together, you know, teamwork and all that. She says it teaches her about cooperation and helping others. And I think that’s a good thing. ‘Cause in this world, we need more folks who are willin’ to lend a hand.

But it ain’t just about the stories and the gameplay. It’s also about the values. A good Christian video game should promote things like kindness, honesty, and forgiveness. It shouldn’t have no violence or bad language, or nothin’ that would make the good Lord blush. And it should definitely stay close to the teachings of the Bible, not wander off into some weird, new-agey stuff.

I know some folks are still skeptical about video games, think they’re a waste of time or even a bad influence. But I think it all depends on what kind of games you’re playin’. If you’re playin’ games that teach you good things, that help you grow in your faith, well, that can’t be all bad. It’s like my grandma used to say, “Everything in moderation, even good things.”

And hey, even if you ain’t a gamer, you can still appreciate the effort that goes into makin’ these Christian video games. It takes a lot of talent and dedication to create somethin’ that’s both fun and meaningful. So, I say, more power to ’em. As long as they’re spreadin’ the good word and helpin’ folks connect with their faith, I’m all for it.

So, if you’re lookin’ for a new way to learn about the Bible, or if you just want a game that’s wholesome and uplifting, why not give a Christian video game a try? You might be surprised at what you find. And who knows, you might even have a little fun along the way. Just remember to do your research, read some reviews, and pick a game that’s right for you and your family. And don’t forget to pray about it, too. After all, everything we do should be for the glory of God.

And one last thing, don’t go spendin’ all your money on them games. Remember to tithe and give to the church, ya hear? God comes first, always.
