Giant Bomb Video Game News
Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
Added by Ryan Davis on April 1, 2009
Let's face it: it can be tough enough to filter out the facts from the nonsense when it comes to video-game news on any other day of the year, and April Fools only serves to exacerbate the problem exponentially. You'd think people would learn to hold their announcements for April 2nd, but instead I'm forced to doubt everything I read today. Thanks a lot, Liars Day!
10. Legends of Zork Launches
I'll admit, that's a pretty convincing screenshot mock-up.
You're bringing the classic text adventure series back as a free-to-play browser-based game? Good one, guys!
It's funny to see publishers mishandle their intellectual properties!
Because Star Trek is for Nerds and Rock Music is for Cool People!
Isn't it hilarious how DLC is being used to charge extra for features that are already in the game?
Get it? Because a large number of people have lost their jobs, and the developer's name has the word “Big” right there in it!
5. Syberia 3 Launching on PS3
An adventure game on the PS3? How droll!
PC gaming is dead LOL!
I'm actually still not 100% sure this isn't supposed to be an April Fools thing. If it is, the joke part is masterfully hidden.
I was waiting for the follow-up story about BioShock: ODST.
Nice try, Giant Bomb, but that's not even a real game.
This is only funny if you know that Dave played football in high school. And I do know that! LOL!
[UPDATE]: Turns out the Syberia thing is, in fact, an April Fools joke. Awesome. That'll teach me to ignore anything I ever hear about Syberia again!

"Captain of the team bitch. Go Vikings."It's a jock - get him!
Big Huge Layoffs - life changing economic misfortunes aside, who doesn't love snappy headlines that write themselves?
I actually heard that Gamefly put up a listing for a Wii version of Mad Dog McCree. srsly...
You missed off the Tales of Vesperia coming to PS3 and the Tales of Graces for Wii, lots still think its a joke but magazine scans are appearing.
Laughed at the R.U.S.E comments tho.

So the Jak game is real then? Well I guess I can't wait then, love the Jak series.
.....I have never been this mad at Sony in my entire time of gaming. Why the hell is Jak on a PS2 being developed by some PSP developers?

but.. the syberia one is an april fools joke. it says so at the bottom of the page. guess ryan read the article before it was updated. and i really, really hope that the jak and daxter thing is a joke, even though the article says multiple times that it isn't, cuz it just looks like crap and it's a stupid decision overall. i'd rather see them on my PS3 than on my PSP.
