Elk River, Minnesota Pastor Eric Dykstra has "no problem bribing people with crap in order to meet Christ," which is why hitting up The Crossing Church for Easter Sunday services could win you a Nintendo 3DS. More »

Religion in Games: Less a Leap of Faith, More a Suspension of Belief

Owen Good — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 13:00:00 EDT

I've no idea why, but it seems no accident that the week before Easter I went back to start over the original Assassin's Creed, the only game I've ever played that is set in the Holy Land. More »

Never let anyone tell you that San Francisco isn't the heart of the gaming world. Where else would you find a church using Mii to promote an upcoming Easter service. Mission Bay Community Church in San Fran sent this clever picture out to parishioners earlier this week. So great. More »

The Xbox 360 Easter Egg

fdemarco — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 11:00:00 EDT

And I mean a real Easter Egg, not the I-hid-something-in-my-game-see-if-you-can-find-it easter egg. Since I seem to always get stuck with the holidays I always feel somewhat obligated to mention them while I'm here and then try and relate them to games somehow. Easter seemed like it was going to be a bit of a stretch until Kotakuite Josh saved the day with his custom made Xbox360 Easter Egg. Now if some one could make a Wii egg (doesn't require much painting) and a PS3 egg (dunno about a black egg), the collection will be complete. But, to make it true to life you'll have to hide the Wii egg where no one can find it and leave the PS3 egg out in the open where no will want to find it. Happy Easter! Flynn De Marco More »

The Easter Egg Archives

Mike Fahey — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:25:34 EDT

Easter is a time when people come together to celebrate Jesus sticking his head out of his cave and seeing his shadow, heralding six more weeks of winter. While I probably could have paid more attention in church as a boy, I fondly remember the yearly Easter egg hunt, a tradition that some gamers practice all year long. More »

Pac-y Easter!

Michael McWhertor — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 14:47:13 EDT

Awesome! Check out Rakka's Pac-Man egg that was painstakingly carved with a needle! It also features extensive electrical work and emits light at 2000 candlepower and makes its own gravy! Okay, most of that was made up, but lookit how cute! More »

Rabbits of the Ressurrection

In honor of Easter, someone with a blog has decided to celebrate the top five bunny-themed video games of all time. The list includes Space Bunnies Must Die, and Tiny Toon Adventures, but purists will be enraged by the scandalous omission of the Reader Rabbit series. More »

What Are You Playing This Easter Weekend?

brownlee — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 16:40:04 EDT

It's Easter Weekend and in the time honored tradition of the Christian faith all of us are off work and school for the next three days, celebrating one of the most fundamental moments of the history of Western Civilization, a mystical religious event which shaped the world for millennia to come. I refer, of course, to the crucification and eventual resurrection of our Leponidae and Savior, the Easter Bunny. More »
