Awesome April 1st 2010

Well, now that April Fool's Day is over, here are some great April Fool's gag I found around the web.


There are a couple of new games from Blizzard... for mobile devices:

• Blackthorne 2: Thorne Harder - Set 16 years after the original game. The game boasts uncanny life-like AI and photorealistic graphics.

• Queen's Quest - The story of Kerrigan after the Brood War. It has amazing 2D graphics and incorporates a text parser ala old school adventure games (like King's Quest maybe).

Blizzard's new Battle.net Matchmaking. Give it a try.

Blizzard's new merchandise:
Battle.net Neural Interface
Diablo 3: X-Treme Gamer Blanket
Diablo 3: Deckard Cain GPS voice pack
WoW: Equipment Potency Equivalent Number


Notable mentions:

Ubisoft: Rabbids: Splinter Cell Conviction (JP);
Ecco 2: Water Wars
Razer: Venom
Kotaku: Announcing Koticku
