* [[Seanbaby]] reviewed a Christian version of ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]'' (entitled ''Dance Praise'') in one issue of ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'', concluding with an offensive but somewhat pertinent quote: "[What I learned was that] Christian anything sucks more than regular anything." |

** He also reviewed ''Bible Adventures'' and ''Sunday Funday''. After comparing ''Sunday Funday's'' gimmick of quoting scripture versus ''Menace Beach's'' gimmick of having your girlfriend's clothes disappear between levels, he concluded that "If you suck at making things but want people to buy them anyway, crap with [[Jesus]] sells better than crap with tits." |

* A Christian ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' clone, entitled ''Guitar Praise'', which includes a lot of groups listed on [[Christian Rock]] (and one song from a [[Not Christian Rock]] group, [[Flyleaf]]). |
* A Christian ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' clone, entitled ''Guitar Praise'', which includes a lot of groups listed on [[Christian Rock]] (and one song from a [[Not Christian Rock]] group, [[Flyleaf]]). The game was praised (no pun intended) by both Christian and secular game reviewers, though they also lamented the relative lack of polish compared to ''Guitar Hero'' and ''Rock Band'' despite the game being otherwise serviceable if not decent for its target audience. |

* There's a Catholic-themed clone of ''DopeWars'' called, yes, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20111208061111/http://www.phatmass.com/more/games/pope_wars/ Pope Wars]''. It's somewhat tongue-in-cheek. |

* There was a PC game spawned by the ''[[Bibleman]]'' video series by a company called Covenant Studios. It played sort of like ''[[Diablo]]'' with jerky controls, sprites that moved at a snail's pace and weapons of a purely defensive nature—even the character who had a laser gun at the time. Instead, there's a clunky system to destroy enemies with random Bible passages. To top it all off, Bibleman, the character the series is named after, has to be unlocked before players can take control of him. Oddly, despite this winning combination, the purported [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions never materialized. At last check, the developers' site had disappeared off the face of the internet. |
