(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Let's face it; April Fool's jokes in general aren't fun. You can see them coming a mile away and most of us just roll our eyes and try to stay the hell away from people that pull them. When your favorite gaming company or companies pull them, however, sometimes you're just screwed. This year there seemed to be a lot more shenanigans than usual going on, but I've narrowed down my top 5 to the following, in no particular order.



Mass Effect Cartoon
IGN put together this one. It reimagines Mass Effect as a cheesy '80s cartoon replete with the crew of the Normandy forming a band to fight the Reapers with rock 'n roll.

Assassin's Creed for Kinect
This video was made by fans and uploaded to HawkandGamble's account on YouTube, but looks surprisingly good.

8 bit motion capture
Motion capture is all the rage nowadays, even if you're making an 8-bit indie game.

Sega Bass Fishing of the Dead
Two of Sega's franchises combined. Zombie fish, ayup.
