14 DAY TRIAL // There are few Bible-based games available in the world, but if you're planning to buy one and hoping for a bargain, you are really lucky: GraceWorks Interactive partnered with Game du Jour in order to offer their Christian game, Interactive Parables, at half its price today, on the 27th of May. So, if you want to purchase the game for only $6.95 (compared to the original price of $14.95), go quickly to the official website and get it. You can also check the demo before purchasing it - and I doubt there's more you could ask from it!
Interactive Parables is a full 3D game which plans to teach kids the lessons from the Parables of Jesus - there is a total of 24 grouped together by theme. The awards for the youngsters playing the game and completing the missions will take the shape of an in-game crown, but you will probably care more about the fact that your son or daughter will learn a bit more about the Bible.
In Interactive Parables, players will have to fly, slide, jump, bounce, dodge, search, and solve the puzzles in the game while learning new things about Christianity. The developers, GraceWorks, say that it is a "great Bible-based product for your family, church's Sunday School or Home School." It's up to you to decide whether they are correct or not.
And since we're talking about Bible-based games, you should know that the near future will bring you another game of this kind, an adventure one this time, called Nacah (Hebrew for Adventure). Developed by Virtue Games, Nacah will be a Myst-like title that really requires the Bible in order to play it. So... if you were planning on reading it and never had the chance, get ready for Nacah and things will definitely change.
