April Fool's Round Up

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.

Assassin's Creed for Kinect Announced!

Saints Row: The Third – Enter The Dominatrix

THQ Inc and Volition, Inc. are proud to announce the development of Saints Row: The Third – Enter The Dominatrix, the groundbreaking standalone expansion to Saints Row: The Third.

Features of Enter The Dominatrix include:

- The Dominatrix Has You: And it feels so good. Bend the Dominatrix to your will and harness an arsenal of super powers including Mind-Bending Telekinesis, Really Really High Jump, Really Really Fast Sprint, Shiny Blue Force Shield, and Shiny Blue Fireball Projectile-of-Doom.

- Wondrous Alien Technology: Use Dominatrix weapons as your own, such as the Floppy Alien Tentacle Bat, the Fire-In-The-Sky Alien Abduction Ray, and the ***-stretching Alien Anal Probe, as well as a touch-screen telephonic device with email and map functionality. Reach out and f$%# someone.

- Go Three Levels Deep: Enter the Dominatrix within the Dominatrix within the Dominatrix to recruit former Saints from the depths of your own memory to fight Zinyak. It’s all science, with just a little fiction.

Will you defeat Zinyak and his invasion armada? Will you escape from virtual reality to rule Steelport once more? Will any of this make any sense? The answers you seek can only be found inside the Dominatrix. So enter it.

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.

  • I wish those creeps were real. I would love to see the look on my friends face when i gave those to him. xD

    And AC for Kinect is hilarious! Yes, we would run aroung in circles in the loading screen. We all know we would.

  • these are amazing!!

  • I want some Creep Peeps!

  • Lol. This is great!

  • most of these i would have pegged, but really i wouldnt have questioned SR3 dominatrix at all. also now i want some creeps, i bet those things taste terrific.

  • Mass Effect Cartoon Debut Trailer. Youtube it! :D

  • Dont forget Arma 2 Japan Self Defence force.

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

  • To be honest I would totally play Sega Bass Fishing of the Dead. Also Marshmallow Creeps would be epic.

  • I wonder why nobody heard the annoucement for Half-Life 3? Surely some people must still want that game.

  • For the most part, I hate the April Fools jokes that comes with the day because they're usually so dumb and not believable. But then we get cool things like the NES Google maps and Creeps. XD
  • Heheheh! Mars Effect, pretty cute.

  • You guys missed League of Legends April fools joke. 3D gaming with red and green classes lol

  • I was playing Mass Effect 3 another day on my pc and somehow i unlocked a new ending that was already on the disc. Is this normal?
  • Assassin's Creed and the 8 bit maps are the best today! Including those tasty Creepers!

  • joostdevblog.blogspot.se/.../weve-announced-our-next-game-day-of.html

  • 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.

  • Pretty sure you missed this one. http://www.razerzone.com/snakeeyes
