Splitsider pal Mike Drucker has put together his list of the funniest video games of the year, and it's great. Games are generally not a genre known for their subtle senses of humor — unless you count the unintentional comedy of the plots of most Call of Duty games — but Drucker has pinpointed a selection of games across multiple platforms that manage to actually be, you know, funny.
Oh, baby. I can't decide whether I'd rather play the free Simpsons game for iPhone and iPad, or watch Homer play it. Probably play, since the game features original content from the writers and lets you level up to playing as other family members. Beware, though, that while the app is free, the iTunes list of "Top In-App Purchases" includes "Boatload of 2400 Donuts" for $99.99. This could get expensive fast.
Kenny Powers is now the star of his very own iPhone/iPod Touch game: Kenny Powers Home Run Fiesta: "His game also is desirable because it is not for those under 17, which means bad language and implied sex (but no nudity). You play as the batter against the cornrowed badass Powers. Tap the screen to call for a pitch, tilt it forward to whack it. You're not gonna get much in gameplay; the payoff's in one liners."
