Sometimes they're obvious. Other times they're not. Every year we fall for them. Maybe it’s because we want to believe. Maybe it’s because we forget what day it is. This year is no different.
So, in no particular order, I present to you a handy dandy list of some of the best game and non-game related April Fools Day pranks! Enjoy!
On a side note, “Still Alive” from the game Portal for Rock Band is available for free! And that’s no joke!
Please Note: Some of these links are time sensitive. I have no control if they are taken down after April 1st!
