Generally I think the best April Fools jokes are the ones that you can tell are fake, but are just convincing enough to make you wonder for a moment and funny enough that it doesn’t matter either way. Nothing here has been remotely convincing nor funny, which is fine by me: April Fools’ Day tends to be a really annoying day to be a gamer – we often get jokes that make you think “no really, don’t joke about that: make it” – but today has been mostly business as usual.

Gamespace did a pretty funny thing, Blizzard announcing the 5th new game was World of Starcraft as the unannounced MMO, even linking an exclusive trailer showing some basic gameplay.

Obviously they’re too cool to blow their own horn. Even though they clearly had the funniest ones. -
