10 Silliest Parody Video Games
773If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, what does that make parody? Not all games aim to be the biggest or the best, to push technology or storytelling to new heights, or even chase the latest trends; some games just want to be silly. Any game, trope, or genre, or any piece of art, once popular enough, opens itself up to parody, and as gamers, we just love it when we find a cheeky reference or Easter Egg poking fun at something we love. Even better if it’s an entire game doing the lampooning. Spoofs, satires, send-ups, whatever you prefer to call them, exist in that strange space between mockery and admiration. It’s a fine line to tread, with the worst coming across as little more than spiteful digs, and the best showing a real understanding and reverence for the source material, making fun like a good-natured (if a little childish) best friend. Here are the 10 Silliest Parody Video Games.
