Its been dubbed the first "Videogame parody" athough I'm sure I've seen tons of videogames parody other games through the years.The games parodied so far are:
Bomberman
Mario Bros.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Tetris
Soul Calibur
Splinter Cell
Bloodrayne
Rayman
Tomb Raider
Pac-Man

I don't think I'll ever play the game but it looks interesting just for the parodies.Does the parodies seem interesting to anyone else and is it a bad idea to base an entire game on parodies?

Well It's Asterix... they are pretty silly, so I think it suits their style.

Does it matter what it's labelled? Most games use 99% false hype anyway.

could someone explain exactly what Asterix is?

nevermind.. i just clicked the link
