2014--The Year of the Ridiculous Game

I like a little humor in my games.  It's a nice break from the seriousness of an intense storyline.  Lately though it seems that some games are themselves the jokes.  Earlier this year Goat Simulator was released and many initially thought it was an April Fool's joke.  The premise of the game is that you are a goat and your goal is to rain destruction on the world.  You receive "points" for headbutting things and just generally goofing around.  It's silly at best and completely ridiculous at worst.  If you haven't seen any footage of this game, here you go:

I don't know whether to applaud the creators for this odd addition to the gaming world or cringe at the fact that people are spending good money on it.  Maybe there was a gamer out there who had a fantasy of playing as a goat and wreaking havoc on the human world.

Here's another game that recently came out that also has me pondering the state of gaming.  I Am Bread allows you to play as a piece of bread.  No, I'm totally serious, it's a real game.

If you're looking for a game sheerly for the laugh factor, you might want to check out one of these two.
