Star Warped is hilarious. The premise of the game is that you're a guest touring the home of Brian and Aaron, two middle aged man-child Star Wars ubernerds who live with their mom in Modesto, California.
Brian and Aaron are voiced by stand-up comedian Brian Posehn and Robbie Rist, an actor who's probably best known as the voice of Michaelangelo in the original TMNT movie or for playing Cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch. If you're familar with Posehn, you know more of less what to expect here. If you're not, he's a man who compared his disappointment with the Star Wars prequel trilogy to serving in the Vietnam War. It's that kind of nerd humor on display here, but this is before Phantom Menace ruined the franchise, so there's a lot of love for the original trilogy and some deep DEEP nerd references.
The game is primarily a first person point and click adventure game. You go around clicking on objects from Brian and Aaron's collection of bizarre and absurd Star Wars memorabilia and seeing what happens. The objects either trigger a funny voice over response from the brothers and occasionally their mom and sister or they launch a mini game.
There's a bunch of different types of mini games to discover in Star Warped which are good for a laugh. There's Whack the Ewok, in which you hit an Ewok with a pole while Darth Vader eggs you on. There's a parody of You Don't Know Jack called You Don't Know Jedi, which has silly Star Wars trivia and intro songs. Another is Flawed Fighters, which is a fighting game with three playable characters based on ridiculous Star Wars action figures (Pizza Flipping Greedo is a favorite). There's also an Asteroids parody where you control the Deathstar and shoot objects like Leia's Bikini. Another fun one is Scrapped Scripts which triggers cut scenes of Star Wars scenes in the style of Seinfeld, Woody Allen, Spike Lee, or Quentin Tarantino. Do the Right Thing, Pulp Fiction and Annie Hall references abound.

Banjo-KazooieA bear named Banjo needs the help of his loyal friend Kazooie, a red feathered bird, to rescue his sister Tooty from a witch named Gruntilda.
Gruntilda has created a machine that transfers one person's level of beauty to another, and plans to use it on Tooty, so she can steal her youthful good looks.
Tooty is hidden within Gruntilda's lair, a strange collection of rooms that contain portals to mysterious environments, where new landscapes, new friends, and new foes are encountered.
The layer contains magical doors that seal off certain rooms, stopping Banjo and Kazooie from finding Tooty.
In order to open these doors, Banjo and Kazooie need to collect mysterious objects called notes, which exist within the mysterious environments.
Collecting enough of these notes will give them the power to open the magical doors.
In order to open a portal to a new environment, a jigsaw containing a picture of the environment has to be finished.
Golden Jigsaw pieces are located within previously visited worlds, and can fit any unfinished jigsaw.
The game is often described as being similar to Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong Country, as well as sharing a few similarities with The Legend of Zelda series.Action Fantasy Comedy
