Here’s a big gaming April Fools 2017 roundup

Dog day

I’m so glad April Fool’s was on Saturday this year.

When it’s during the work week, I’m trying to frantically decide what’s real and what’s not, but when just about everyone is off for the weekend, most of the jokes came early on Friday night.

Here’s a recap of some of the jokes you might have missed, and feel free to share others in the comments below.
