Advantages of Biblical Video Games

When someone says video games, I don't know about you, but I immediately think of sports or violence. I would say those art two of the most popular genres of video games. However, on Friday in class I was able to experience the world of biblical video games, and it wasn't so bad. There were fifteen different video games to choose from, all relating back to the Bible in some way. I skipped around and played about all of the games for a few minutes, but by the end I found myself spending more time on one game in particular, "David and Goliath." I knew the story of David and Goliath from growing up in a Christian home, my parents had told me the story as a kid. However, it had been a few years and I guess I had forgotten some of the details that are vital to the story. When you start the game you are immediately asked questions about David and his family and you cannot move on to the next question until you answer it correctly. Once you answer a variety of different questions you finally get to see David defeat Goliath at the end of the game. This game would be great for children because it allows them to learn about the Bible and certain stories in the Bible in a fun, unique way. Video games are no doubt a part of our generation and this site allows children to participate in online games while parents know they are on a clean and safe site.
