Shouldn't it be "Jesus's Life"? Since Jesus is a singular noun? We only leave off the second "s" if it's plural.

According to the standards of written English, the s immediately following the apostrophe can be truncated if the posessive noun ends with a s itself ^_^

I had heard (studied) this also. Anyway, thanks to both of you. The thing is clearer now.

Why not skip that problem entirely and call the game "The Life of BrianJesus"?

Actually it's correct either way. In this case, cause it's a name, I would recommend that you add the 's after Jesus simply cause it's a name and not a noun, and it sounds a bit odd without it.

English is not my language, so I can't measure the "oddity" of the name. I appreciate your advises, I'll discuss with some more people.

Added the Italian translation! English is coming (prolly after Christmas).
