Ben There, Dan ThatI Laughed Out Loud | Submitted by costik on Sun, 07/20/2008 - 01:44. |
Graphic adventure are, to be sure, among the few game styles that actually do humor well -- but when you come to down to it, a lot of the games that try to recreate the humor of Monkey Island or Grim Fandango don't quite hit. Oh, they're jocular enough, but it doesn't quite work -- a smile at best. Yes, yes, we know, dying is easy and comedy is hard, but I can't remember the last game I played that actually made me laugh out loud. Ben There, Dan That did.
Normally, new reviews appear in full text on the front page -- no need to click through for more. In this case, I am going to post only the first part, however, with the rest below the fold, because this is a 3-minute game (actually, a 2 minute and 10 second game, precisely), and almost anything I might say would amount to a spoiler.
In other words, play it first, then read the rest of the review. Failing to do so is a lot like hearing the punchline before the joke.
