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

The New DSi LL

You know, when they announced the DSi with the larger screen (3.2 in compared to the DS-Lite's 3.0 in) I thought "Well, that's an improvement". Considering the limitations of the size of the DSi, that's the largest increment they could do without affecting the rest of the device.

And when I heard about the rumoured 4in LCD screen DSi, well I was a little sceptical. Well, the only way they could do that is by increasing the size of the DSi.

Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He waits

We are doomed! Roundhouse kicks galore!

It was supposed to be a routine mission: A rogue Soviet army was holding POWs hostage in Cambodia, and only Chuck Norris, man of action, could save them. But the stakes are raised when Chuck’s greatest enemies unite to invade and destroy America. Download the most action that can still fit on your mobile device and help Chuck save the entire free world! This time, he’s pulling no punches and unleashing his full fighting power - never before seen by anyone who lived to tell about it!

FFCC - The Crystal Bearers Song Sung by Bon Jovi

The Final Fantasy series, in my opinion, has always been known to have interesting art styles and beautiful songs.

And now, Bon Jovi adds their music talent to this new Final Fantasy series for the Wii.

I've always liked Bon Jovi and the song doesn't feel out of place. Well, the snippet's for the tv commercial and I still don't know how they're using it in the game. Too bad I don't have a Wii.

The song, however is We Weren't Born To Follow, which is in their new album.
