I know that plenty of games advocate religions or use them to add to the story line, but this is seriously tripping me out:

My roommate and I were positive that it was a fake commercial, meant to inspire ironic humor, but the website looks legitimate enough and the idea (while being so strange and un-game-worthy in my mind) could have selling potential with the super-religious parent crowd.

I wonder now more than ever if games, like books and movies, are turning into a medium. Though games have long been used to pass the time, there was a point in time when they were used to teach lessons to children without boring them. We'll see whether this will revolutionize learning or bring a new level to the Christian experience, but I doubt we'll be seeing a copy of Meditation Hero in stores any time soon.

Its a joke. The company listed at the bottom doesn't exist. Spoof.

But still funny.

And yes, this topic was done a couple days ago.

I think there was an official news posting of this yesterday, along with a possible link to Dante's Inferno and their viral marketing campaign.

This is a fake commercial, I don't see how anyone can think otherwise. If it was a real Wii commercial, for starters everyone would be wearing white and running around the Hyperbolic Time Chamber (For those who don't know Dragonball Z, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is an endless room of just pure white)

Not only can you tell the game isn't real gameplay, or the controllers are fake, but also the voice over for the commercial and the camera angles. It's very amateur.

That is either fucking hilarious or utterly and indescribably terrifying.

Which it is depends on whether or not it's a joke.
Agreed


OP: This is the way wii prey!

Apologies for the 2% joke, I just couldn't resist

It's a joke. Either that or a horribly distasteful... well it would still be a joke. But some of the games in there are plain blasphemy, especially to the Catholic faith (I personally don't belong to Catholicism, but I have a decent understanding of it).
