Video and computer games have been shockingly devoid of parody for too long. Pardoy, in its own funny way, confirms success - something has to be familar and recognizable in order for its caricature to achieve comic effect.

Magicka is one game that seeks to redress that imbalance, but instead of making humor the focal point of the game, Magicka is also a surprisingly innovative and enjoyable couch co-op* game (*provided you have a couch in front of your PC and a glut of gamepads, four players can play at once).

But if a spellcasting system powered by clever combos (each button press representing a differnet element) isn't enough to catch you attention, maybe a DLC send-up entitled Magicka: Vietnam will.
