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.

Valve Announces Ricochet 2


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.

  • Wow, thanks. I was wondering if there was a place I could find all of todays madness. Now let's see if anything can top Google maps, Dragon Quest World. If only it had random encounters...
  • lol this was great
  • The WoW MegaBloks aren't an April Fools joke. Those are legit. They announced them almost a year ago. They're making StarCraft ones, too. Also, I would totally buy Creeper Peeps.

    EDIT: LOL, all the dialogue they show from Starcraft Supply Depot 2 is from PeeWee's Big Adventure.
  • those creeps look good

  • Well, there goes my day.
  • Aww, Minecraft Creeps actually look good.
  • ha blizzard slammed bioware
  • You missed one: http://www.razerzone.com/snakeeyes
  • ThinkGeek is doing a lot of April Fool's Day stuff. But, at the same time, it's trolling. All that cool stuff.... And it's a joke.
  • The Mega Bloks for Blizzard Entertainement is actually real you know.
  • i think Riot Games did it too, when they announced a 3D mode for League of Legends today

  • Ah Blizzard if there's one thing they are good at its jokes
  • damn thats alot already.... i like the creeps tho they should accully do that lol
  • I want Creeps. Those look delicious.

  • Adblock now replaces adds with cats. :D

  • all joking aside... sega needs to bring back typing of the dead.
  • Something tells me that the Saint's Row stuff might actually be legit. And since I don't like neither Peeps nor Creepers, I don't think I'd like Creeps.
  • World of Tanks also introduced two pranks. One is the introduction of the Ratte Super Heavy tank, a vehicle so powerful it can damage tanks fighting in other battles. The second was the introduction of an expanded Soviet tank tech tree beyond the power of the others, even including tanks that are currently operational.
  • AC Kinect is really trollin'. That would be so creepy, flailing with everyone sitting around... Are you saying The Dominatrix couldn't be real? Heheheh. I always knew Supply Depot was the greatest hero and - ooh, Bioware burn. Zergling teaches typing! So adorable. Why are those games not real!? I would buy a Zergotchi! And the Creeps. Why not?
