Palladium Gets Warped

For all the Star Wars fans out there who ever wanted to whack the Ewok, Parroty Interactive, a division of Palladium Interactive, has the answer.

This month, the company responsible for PC game parody Pyst is launching a new spoof called Star Warped. Unlike Pyst, which was an interactive product rather than a game, Star Warped is a game. It contains 12 games and gimmicks designed to poke fun at George Lucas' epic trilogy.

The games include a trivia game called U Don't No Jedi; a Gene Splicer to meld the traits of different characters; Flawed Fighters, a fighting game whose weapons include the body parts of Luke Skywalker; and Death Star Destructo, a shooter where players try to destroy random Star Wars merchandise. Whack the Ewok is a skill game where players try to knock those fuzzy creatures off their perches.

Other activities feature a Time Machine of sight gags featuring characters before and after their big screen debuts, a series of Scrapped Star Wars scripts in the writing styles of directors like Quentin Tarantino and Woody Allen, and a Magic Eight Ball-style Yoda game called Tell You, I Will.

A Ranch cam shows fictional footage of Skywalker ranch, and three hidden game parodies are in there as well.
