Are you a big fan of the industry-dominating rhythm genre, but feel that Rock Band 2's mostly secular set listcould use a healthy dose of Jesus? Then you may want to hold off on anymajor faux rock-related purchases until September 25, when Guitar Praise: Solid Rock ships for PC and Mac.GameDaily dredged up a few details on the Digital Praise-developed game, whose equally pious brethren include Dance Praise and Solomon Says.Guitar Praise will apparently feature 52 God-approved tracks from someof the biggest acts in Christian rock, including Flyleaf, Petra,Whitecross, Skillet, Newsboys and more. Multiplayer modes were alsomentioned, allowing for a second player to hop on bass guitar orpartake in a very familiar-sounding "PowerDuel" -- involving power-upsthat screw with the opposition's performance.

And Ralphie thought he had it bad with a pink bunny suit.
