PS2 gamers will be able to show who is omniscient in the ways of the teachings of the Bible by answering questions relating to the good book in a game-show format. Contestants will be quizzed on such stories as Jonah and the Whale, David and Goliath, and many more. A thorough knowledge of the work won't do alone; blessed be those who are also quick on the buzzer. The family-friendly game's multiplayer mode allows up to four to jump in the fun.

On the GBA, gamers will play as either Billy or Jenny as they attempt to protect the Armor of God. The action/adventure/trivia game takes characters across seven levels, as they answer questions about the New and Old Testaments.

The Bible Game will sell for $19.99 on both systems.

Am I the only who had the intial impression that this must be a sequel to The Guy Game? Alas, different developers. Still, that would pretty much cement those developers as going to Hell.
