The problem with April Fools' jokes is that 50% of the time I wish the prank product was actually real. Eidos Montreal contributes to the problem with their version of a prank: the "reveal" of an 8-bit Deus Ex game. » 4/01/13 11:00am 4/01/13 11:00am

This Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon thing simply will not quit. Yes, I know today is April Fools' Day, but god damn, whatever this is—a film, a game extension, a fantastic hoax—Ubisoft did get it rated by the freaking Australian Classification Board (where it got an 18+ for a "high impact sex scene.") » 4/01/13 10:40am 4/01/13 10:40am

The undisputed Internet-age leader in April Fool's hoaxes gets a one-day head start on its latest gag—a brilliant announcement video for "Google Maps 8-Bit," a port of the popular, well, map service to the Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicon.

Closing out this April Fool's Day is a prank that is 100 percent truthful in its awesomeness. At Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Greenview Data, the co-workers of one Minecraft-addicted employee, Matt, converted his cubicle into a Minecraft cave anyone could be proud of, in game or in real life. » 4/01/11 11:00pm 4/01/11 11:00pm
