I just realized this after looking at my calendar. Man I so hate this time of year for gaming. There are going to be so many rumors going around that we won't know what's real and what's fake. I usually take them for fake because I know better but I think there has been times when a new or rumor came out during 4/1 and it turned out to be true.

Prepare for "teh uber megaton announcements" and the like. I predict the usual MGS4 for the XBOX 360. Ugh the horrors. :(

How come the jokes actually sound awesome...

Actually, that would be amazing if Bungie said they were bringing Pimps at Sea to Xbox Arcade on April 1, and then surprised everybody the next day by saying it was an actual game.

I liked when GS "announced" that Namco was making a Katamari Damacy movie staring The Rock. :)

GameFAQs becoming the Xbox-centric "GameFAX" was also a good one back in the day, I actually believed it for a minute.

about a year or 2 ago, gamefaqs home page was replaced by a message saying that they had been shut down by an anti cheaters association or something like that

World of starcraft was a good joke on gamespot, they did a preview on it, and they even gave it it's own page (previews, reviews, screenshots, forum etc)

I hate April Fool's day on this site and just about every other gaming site. The jokes are rarely funny and usually just make navigating around the site a little more difficult. If nothing else it makes these forums painful to hang around. You've got a million yahoos running around making up their own rumors or panicking over one they read somewhere else and it takes almost a week for a lot of these made-up rumors/jokes to die.

Hey look what I found

Extra lulz at the fake PS3 picture in the rumor control article on the right side (nothing to do with april fools, it's just funny).

EDIT: apparently GameFAX is still around too

Anyway I'm pumped to see some more Pimps at Sea. :D

I remember the April Folls joke where Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced for Wii and it was to be titled "Kingdom Hearts: Mushroom Kingdom" and feature over 10 Nintendo characters. What a fool I was. How could I even fall for that?

I quess we'll be hearing from pimps at sea and duke nukem forever again. It would be awesome of course if bungie was actually making a pimps at sea arcade game, and everyone thinks it's just another april fools joke.

I actually fell for the "Cowbell Hero" joke. Looking back it was pretty funny. With Christopher Walking proposing a cowbell hero game. I actually believed it.

April fools' gaming jokes are rarely funny, cause most of them could really happen. Except from that "tape a quarter on your SNES Mortal Kombat cart to unlock red blood" thing.

Here's a link to Gamespot's page for April Fool's related stuff. I personally love the "Disney snags Bum Fights license" one.

Unlocking Sonic and Tails in Melee, I believe that was the best April Fools Joke for a game ever! Me and my friends spent hours and hours trying to unlock them haha! Then we finally realize the EGM issue was an April Issue, it was March when we got the issue.

Worst April fools rumor this year. Nude code for Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds! (Please, no one should write and ask me for the code!)
