Games are primarily a diversion, and while many gamers take them more seriously than other forms of entertainment, in the end games are meant to be fun. One way game developers have tried to entertain players is through the use of humor. Traditionally, humor has been used in adventure games - although it has appeared in many forms and in many different types of games, and sometimes sneaks into games unintentionally.
