Here is one ad for a Nintendo Wii game that immediately caught my attention. As soon as I saw that they were coming out with a virtual Mass game for the Wii it was too bizarre not to read more. The fact that you have big white crosses that let you say the Hail Mary and have Confirmation was a hilarious concept that I couldn’t believe developers would actually make such a thing.
Then after visiting the game’s home page I realized this wasn’t an ad for a Nintendo Wii game at all, at least not the one first promoted. It is an ad for Dante’s Inferno, a graphic action game about Hell. Check out the video, it would be a sin not to.
