April Fool's News Roundup

I can't even believe some of this stuff.


It's the holiday you might hate or appreciate, but either way - it's got some of the goofiest gags brought to us. Assembled here are some of my favorites this year.

The headline above is from City of Heroes, detailing all of the new things you can purchase in the game, such as a babysitter to care for your tiny ones while you play. 

Blizzard got in on the jokes too, showing off their new iOS and Droid title, SupplyDepot 2, as well as their new educational product line, Blizzard Kidzz

Razer is making the move to the real world with their SnakeEyes "Circumcranial Augmented-Reality Gamification H.U.D." - real glasses to be worn in real life to give you that sweet in-life heads up display that you've always wanted. Dialogue choices in real social situations? Yes please!

In addition their new warzone, new operation, legacy system, and new HUD update, Star Wars: The Old Republic has unveiled another new feature... Living The Ship Droid Experience! Earning etiquette points and cleaning the ship's windows? That's the feature we've all been looking for.

In case you were worried Perfect World had a bit too much player harassment, worry no longer - GM bodyguards are now available

League of Legends celebrated their "Urf Day" in style with a new Fisherman Fizz skin (Release the Manatee!) and a new League of Legends 3D mode reveal trailer! Look how visceral everything looks!

Probably the most famous is the new Google Maps, 8bit Edition. Old school gamers might recognize a few of the graphics.

And for World of Warplanes, we have this... 

 

I just love the tagline on this World of Warplanes video. "YOU QUESTIONED THEIR EXISTENCE. THEY'VE COME BACK TO PROVE YOU WRONG."

And lastly, I can't not post this - from the man who brought you Saturday Morning Watchmen, we now have the Mass Effect cartoon's debut teaser.
