HI! Great idea! Let's review some christian games!..
- Sacred (Ascaron)
A Diablo-style RPG where you can choose between Seraphim, Battle mages, Wood Elves, Dark Elves or Unholy Vampires as characters. Definitely good for angel or adventure-lovers. There are two expansions available and new characters to choose from.
- Diablo I and II (Blizzard)
Having played through 1 and 2 of this Demon-slaying epic, I have to say this is one of the best PC games I've ever played - in fact, if Diablo was the only game available on PC, I wouldn't mind at all. There is also a Battle Edition, two special editions, guides online, expansions, patches...everything you need to get totally engrossed.
- Pilgrim: Faith As A Weapon (Infogrames)
OLD PC game. This might take some looking for - and how do you get fullscreen mode? A Knight Templar bring back a manuscript from the Crusades and is pursued by Simon De Lancrois, the main character, a young boy, whose curiosity arouses the anger of the Inquisition under Pope Innocent III. Comes with an encyclopedia of the middle ages, over 150 pages long. It's better than some of the other old PC games.
- Koudelka (Infogrames)
This old PSX RPG is a GEM, if only for the brilliantly-voices cutscenes. It's also great if you like to play priests. You can play up to three characters in a party. It's a cross between Resident Evil-style exploring and standard RPG random encounters, with Fr. James O'Flaherty really playing out his part for all it's worth. The manual is nice too.
- FF VIII (Square Enix)
Ah, sorry, this PSX game is still my favourite, it's very pretty. So I had to put it in. Ah Squall is soo cute...
- Tactics Ogre (Ogre Battle Saga, formerly Quest games)
If you haven't done so already I would Strongly Recommend you play either the PSX or GBA version! A Battle-strategy game. Not only is it possible to raise a powerful army of Priests and Exorcists but you can also, with skill, create the secret Angel Knights to fight alongside you. Fantastic Medieval scenery and hundreds of different classes to choose from...get engrossed!
- Final Fantasy Tactics (Square Enix, strategy)
Fighting in a variety of locations from evil monastery crypts to giant castles, you'd think you were in Britain. Fantastic play, lots of Job classes and wonderful spells. This is a gem.
- Hunter: The Reckoning (White Wolf)
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm in love with Fr. Esteban Cortez. How often do you get to play a priest with a sword AND a crossbow? Not very often! Get the Cube version or XBox and expect a real challenge.
- Baten Kaitos (Namco)
Winged people, pretty graphics and nice voice acting. If you can get used to the random "cards" battle system, this is a beautiful story with angel-like characters in it whose wings pop in and out. Let's see those wings!
...um, can't think of any more. Are these reviews any good?
Peace be with you...look not on our sins but on the faith of Your church.
