The lights are on
Game companies and studios love April Fools' Day. It's the one time of the year we get to see creative juices flow in other areas. Over the course of the day we'll be updating this post with all the pranks and jokes that are (hopefully) fake.
Feel free to post any jokes you see in the comments below or send us a news tip.

Square Enix Reveals Chocolate Dimension in Quantum Conundrum
Square Enix Inc. the publisher of SquarE Enix interactive entertainment products in the Americas, and developer Airtight Games today revealed that they’ve been able to fold another dimension into the first person environmental puzzle game Quantum Conundrum. This time, however, instead of harnessing the laws of physics, the new dimension will manipulate the fundamental laws of chemistry.
In chocolate dimension, players will have new options available as they work their way through Quadwrangle Manor:
· Devour your way through obstacles!
· Melt-down and re-solidify objects!
· Stick to the floor, the walls, & the ceiling!
· Discover all-new (chocolate) Easter eggs!
“People are probably wondering, ‘Chocolate dimension? What’s that all about?’,” said Kim Swift, creative director at Airtight Games. “Chocolate is fun! Chocolate has all sorts of amazing properties! Who doesn’t love chocolate? And besides that, it looks a lot more appetizing than hummus dimension.”
Players will get their first taste of chocolate dimension when the game launches later this summer.

The Google Maps and the Assassin's Creed were the best

Ha! Blizzard had a pretty good dig at BioWare, there.
"Multiple endings, each influenced by your choices and color coordinated for your convenience! (Further epic endings planned for post release as downloadable content.)"
Pinball Arcade announced today that they screwed up their certification with Xbox and put 2013 as their release date. In doing so, they now "can't change it" and have to wait till April 4th next year to release the DLC tables. Pretty sure that's an April fool's joke as well.
