Humor has the ability to raise moods and, obviously, put the smile back on person’s face. Interactive humour is even better since the recipient can take an active role and help to shape the way the narrative plays out. With this in mind, we have here some of the funniest video games ever made.
Jazzpunk 2014
This one of those rare games that was actually designed to be funny. Right from the start, when your character steps out from a suitcase that is shaped as a person and into a cartoon styled cyberpunk setting, the jokes come thick and fast.
Spy vs Spy 1984-1986
A two-player covert espionage challenge game that perfectly matches the slapstick comedy of the Mad magazine comics that the series is based upon. Much of the garnered laughs come from the various traps that can be left for your opponent to walk into. Should you fall prey to your own trap then it’s even funnier, especially the death animations inspired by Looney-Tunes.
Hitman 2000-
Although this series was never intended to be funny, the act of attempting to take out a single target only to accidentally crush half a dozen innocent people under a falling spotlight is unintentionally hilarious. The mechanics of the game can very often make you feel more Bean than Bond – with brilliantly funny results.
There are a whole host of other funny titles to choose from, some intentionally funny and some that accidently stumbled into the realms of comedy. You can find a great selection at www.gellmedia.com.
