This "article" has to be a hoax, but I can't find a telltale feature that will give it away (other than a minor spelling error, and the general oddness of the other articles on the site). And the link in the article seems to go to a real site, which bothers me.

At least, I want to believe this is a hoax. Has to be, right?

Other analysts note the success of games like Halo: Combat Evolved--a sci-fi shoot-'em-up--has not gone unnoticed by gaming and religious leaders. Halo 2 was released this week in over 6,000 stores to hordes of Christian teens, many of whom lined up all night to be the first in line when doors opened. "It was powerful to see so many families coming together; we had candles and sleeping bags and made a retreat of it" testified Marion Phelps, 35, who joined her son on his vigil outside of EB Games at the Northbridge Mall in Omaha, Nebraska. "We really got into the Spirit of it."

Nipping at the heels of Halo 2, Mel Gibson's The Passion, scheduled for release on PS2 this summer, expects to bring equally long lines to the malls. "If Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ has given us any indication of the robust nature of the evangelical entertainment platform," Gage estimates, "then his video game will certainly be a predictor of its market share in days to come."

Never ones to be left behind, the creators of the Left Behind Series hope to demolish the competition with their offspring Left Behind Games (LBG) and its first commercial release, Eternal Forces, a multiplayer, on-line gaming environment.

Seriously. A game based on the Passion for the PS2? Sony would never sign off on that. Right?

Right?

What, precisely, would be the goal of the game, and would you go to Hell for finishing it?

It sounds like it's definitely a hoax. A dumb one.

I imagine it would be like a long MGS-style torture game. And when you carry the cross it would be like Conker's rope balancing.
