Every April Fools, I stay away from the internet to avoid being fooled by videogame news that may be worthy of an actual release or concept. However, I always check all of them out the next day and see what hilarious or cruel joke people or even game companies have created for the public. Here's what I found this year:

This would actually be an interesting mini-game for any of Sega's main games. I mean, all games seem to have some sort of undead these days. Sega added zombies to Yakuza. Rockstar Games added zombies to Red Dead Redemption. I can totally see zombie fishes in Bass Fishing, lol.

Blizzard has made April Fools jokes in the past, but they're usually evident to being jokes. Still, a few of them this year got me laughing. This is one of them.

Although it isn't "laugh out loud" hilarious, the novelty of the concept was rather entertaining. You can mess around with the map here.
[Half-Life 3 Site Prank]
Possibly the most cruelest prank to the videogame community this year was a deviously well constructed duplicate site of Valve's Steam platform with all the working parts with one major difference: A featured front page of what's seemly Half-Life 3. Fans of the series have been begging for Half-Life 2: Episode 3, so seeing an image such as that tugged on the hearts of many and shattered all hope when realizing it was a fake. Fortunately for me, I don't really care since I'm hardly done with Half-Life 2 (and my backlog is still ridiculous).

This was my favorite April Fools this year. The last 30 seconds is what made the video worth watching.
