Worst April Fool's joke...ever.

 

I'm with you on this one, Greg.

The Gamespot ones were at least as bad....

[shep]

that was just stoopid...

*sigh*... people just aren't trying anymore...

 

It also bugs me that I had to actually view their damn splash-screen ad before seeing the article. For any newcomers to this thread, don't give them the satisfaction of viewing their ad: the April Fools joke is "PC 2.0" that will supposedly play just about every game (including consoles), and cost "around $500".

Yes their ads are ridiculous, and a lot of their articles suck...like on IGNcube they posted something about they feel that the next Wind Waker will probably have the same visual style and will probably be based of the engine of WW, much like Majora's Mask was to Ocarina of Time. My problem with this comment: a little while after WW was released Miyamoto said this exact thing was going to happen in an interview I read. They just turned it around to make themselves sound intelligent.
