This is really... something. I came across this website while searching for possible combos on God Hand... I never thought someone would be this bold or... call it whatever you want.. I am in lack of words right now as to how many possible organizations this game might offend.
It's called Battle of the Gods and it's a beat em up/vs game in the likes of Mortal Kombat only they're Immortals.
"Known deities appearing in the game include: Buddha, Jesus, God, the Virgin Mary, Ganesh, Satan, Shiva, Zeus (Ancient Greek ruler of the gods), Aphrodite (Ancient Greek goddess of love), Ra (Egyptian sun god), Anubis (Egyptian God of the Dead), Mother Nature, Ares (Greek God of War), Athena (Greek Goddess of Wisdom, Athens, and War fought through tactics), Isis (Egyptian mother of the Gods), Thor (Viking god of Thunder), Xipe Totec (Aztec god of suffering and Growth), Kanaloa (Hawaiian God of Mischief) and Odin (All-Father from Viking mythology)"
I mean, are you nuts? You wanna publish a game that will pit Jesus against Buddha? the Virgin Mary against Gandhi? (though these are somewhat relgious icons/personas and not really Gods)God the father vs Zeus? Man... I'll expect a s**tload of criticism to fly their way and it's going to hit the fan with their mouths open.
I mean.... I might actually find it intriguing but I don't think a game is worth tapping something as sensitive as religion. We had our long talks about it and the differences that has had man wage war against each other.
