It’s October 31st, and you know what that means! One of the most controversial days of the year is here again and oftentimes it can cause debates over whether it should be practiced or not. Is it just about trick-or-treating, costumes, and candy or is there a more sinister design behind Halloween and its history? […]
Over the years of running Gaming & God, I’ve received emails, messages, or chats on Discord about the effects of video games on our walk with Christ. Questions like “I play (insert game name) and I feel I should stop playing it because it has violence, magic, mentions of a god or worship to this deity […]
Community. That’s the main focus I want this blog and everything else I do with Gaming & God to be about. Not views, clicks, follows, or likes but the interaction between the person reading this and me or whomever else created the content. I’ve tried a few methods but one that I have not focused on enough […]
Have you ever imagined playing a game that takes you back in time to ancient Israel and experience Christ and the New Testament stories? Gate Zero, the first game from Bible X is coming to a PC near you and you can reserve your copy! It’s still in development stages but they have enough content […]
It sure has been a while since I posted anything for this column, but I’m back with more retro goodness! I haven’t dived into any emulator or ROMs yet, as I have quite a backlog of old games that I can access via Nintendo Switch Online, Steam, Amazon gaming and PS Plus. In that way, […]

Publisher One or Eight and developer Team EARTH WARS have just released Lost Epic, and it certainly lives up to its name. The game touts a Souls-like (read: challenging) experience in a 2D side-scrolling environment). While this hack-and-slash foray does have some high points, much of it feels a bit unpolished while parts of it come […]
There are times when we come to have an experience that we weren’t expecting to have but find that it was something that we needed. It Takes Two is a game that I didn’t think I needed until I saw the announcement trailer drop back in late 2020. Unlike most video game trailers that appear to be […]
When I was growing up, my mom would always keep an eye on what games I played. My console and TV were in the living room and she bought all of my games. She knew what I was doing. Now that I am a father, I enjoy watching my children play video games on their […]
When PAX East begins, which is from March 23-26th this year, I get tons of emails from developers about their upcoming games and if I’m interested in trying them out. I often opt to do a blog post of my review but I would like to do some Youtube videos which I export from my […]
