My favorite kind of April Fools’ joke is where developers create mock-ups for products so ridiculous they’ll probably never exist. It's even better when they actually release that product and it ends up being great! In the video...

April Fools is here again, and for some the best way to fight the weaponization of it in the games industry is to log off the 'net entirely. I totally get it, even if I'm used to triple-checking things and even if April Fools jokes occasion...

Another year, another set of April Fools, and this time it was over the weekend and on Easter Sunday. It kind of took the wind out of a lot of people's sails, but a lot of publishers managed to get something out anyway. A few of those "some...

I can't praise the original VA-11 HALL-A enough. Charming retro visuals, bopping tunes and lovable characters combined to create a terrific bar-tending experience. Despite the generally terrible circumstances of the cast, it ended up b...

Just kidding. It's actually Trio the Punch.

GAZE UPON THIS RELIC, THIS ANTIQUATED TOTEM OF HUMANITY. SEE ITS TAUNTING SMILE AND ITS INFERNAL PHYSIQUE. BASK IN SHAME AS IT LAUGHS AND CRIES AT WHIM, WITH TOTAL DISREGARD FOR SCIENCE OR LOYALTY. IT SHALL HEAVE ITS INNARDS WITH PROJECTILE...

We’ve received reports that a deranged man was spotted in a nearby public park wearing only his underwear while threatening people with a sword. As if that wasn’t enough, he then proceeded to douse the weapon in gasoline and set...

When people think about heroes going on epic quests to save the world from total destruction, the obvious beats come to mind; the dangerous foes threatening life at every turn, the arduous tasks required to prove one's strength and valor, t...

Earlier this morning, local police began receiving reports of a man chasing animals into the jungle. Witnesses couldn't identify the suspect, but they did point out he was wearing barely anything clothing and carrying a large sword. The ext...

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 nig...

Like many of you, I've been spending every free moment exploring Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. And while I've certainly enjoyed the game, I couldn't help but notice there was a huge oversight that could have made it a l...

The Street Fighter EX branch of the franchise featured some truly memorable characters: Cracker Jack, Skullomania, and Blair Dame to name just a few. With the exception of a few cameos here and there, all of these EX originals have remaine...

Ahead of April Fools' Day, Google has turned Google Maps into a playable game of Ms. Pac-Man. Just click the little icon (it's unmissable on the mobile app and found on the bottom left on desktop), then off you go. Streets become pellet-fil...
