[Interactive game systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leapfrog-leapmove) are geared to entertain, sometimes even [promote physical activity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitness-game1). The 'Mass We Pray' game system is taking this to a whole other level. That’s right, all the nagging, boringness of Mass in the comfort of your own home.

The Mass simulator comes with a [cross shaped controller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-controller), that detects movement in three dimension. The'Mass We Pray' system allows you to take part in a variety of holy sacraments. Including Baptism and Transubstantiation, which is the turning of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. Since when can a computer game do that!? Eat it Guitar Hero!
