Gaming Steve: April's Fools!

April 1, 2005

April's Fools!

Every year the gaming community tries to outdo each other with their April Fool's jokes. Here are a few that I've encountered so far (not all gaming related). If you see any good ones add them!

World of Wordcraft the world's first MMOWP is announced.
QuakeCon taken over by Imps.
LucasArts Announces Sequel Trilogy in 2007.
HEXUS.net first look at AMD GPU.
The Game Gear is back.
Freelancer 2 is announced.
Richard's Online Journal has game review price rates.
Tokyo zoo penguins in awe.
Pirates! 2 Press Release.
Beyond Unreal has the Unreal 3: Slug Saga - The Adventures of Ne'ban press release.
Google Gulp. Thirst-quenching goodness, still in beta (of course).
Sven Co-op is adding a flight sim mode.
Multiplay UK has info on Frogger Online.

Oh man, that Unreal 3 thing was great, 'specially the screenshots.
And it's pretty funny that many people actually bought that Frogger Online thing. xD
