From the too ridiculous to be believed, to things that make you cry when you learn they're a lie, April Fools' Day is a day when it's impossible to trust anything you read. To help you separate fact from fiction, we're rounding up the best jokes we find:
Get a job at Google as a Pokemon Master
This one's half true. You can catch Pokemon on your iOS or Android device using the Google Maps app right now. However, you're probably not going to get a job at Google just for finding Pokemon on a map.
New Smash Bros. character: Nester
Remember Nester from the old Nintendo Power magazine cartoon Howard and Nester? A spoof site (with incredibly terrible art) will try to convince you that the the red-headed protagonist is in the next version of Smash Bros. The art is pretty terrible, but the page layout mimics the official Smash Bros. site well.
Tim Burton is making a Killzone puppet movie
From the official Sony Killzone blog comes a movie direct by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. The site says, "The movie focuses on the events depicted in Killzone: Shadow Fall after the Helghast settle on planet Vekta."
Here are a few other sample headlines that might not have been written yet, but that you'll probably read somewhere before the end of the day tomorrow:
- Video game company X buys video game company y (i.e. Microsoft buys Nintendo)
- Game publisher known for one type of game makes a game using that IP in a new and ridiculous genre (i.e. Battlefield kart racer)
- Anything at all related to Half-Life 3
