Who doesn't love a good comedy? Film, the entertainment media most often compared to games, pumps out comedies at a regular pace, to the point that some performers are known only for their work as "comedic actors." By comparison, the video game industry produces comedy much less often, and a really excellent comedic game is even rarer still. What's the deal?
This week, the Chattycast yuks it up talking about comedy in games. When has it been done well? What makes a good comedy game? Why is it so hard to get right? Is this something that will improve as games gain greater fidelity, or has the industry moved too far towards action-spectacle to enjoy a few laughs?
