Any of you guys read the newest EGM?

Post by G-force »

They had an article with a mocked up Apple iGame, with a story and everything. At first I did the normal thing and didn't question the integrity of it at all... Until I found nothing online about it but this.

They get me every year!!! So dammed sneaky! :lol: Anybody else fall prey to any of their genius hoax's? I especially liked the Xtreme Beach Volleyball "nude code". The aggravated reader responses were pure gold :lol:

They also had an article about the next Halo game, to be title 'Forerunner.' It's pretty obvious when every single story seems really unlikely, not to mention the fact that it's the APRIL issue that they're pranks.

Your mind kind of forgets the date when it's something that spectacular you want to believe it no matter what. I was talking about it to my dad all the way home from the library (free EGM's!)... I'm a fool. :P

EGM has always done April Fool's jokes. Even back when I read it in high school.

I caught that one immediately ;)...of course, I don't even get EGM anymore, but I saw it from a friend...the iGame :roll:...

I remember one year there was LotR Cart Racing for PSP, with Gandalf in a little wierd carraige thing :P...I believed it to be true but then realized it probably wasn't.
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

I used to have PSM, and they always had good AFJs, like Playstation buying Zelda, or the PSP being VR based...

About your "nude code" in DOA volleyball, I heard there is a code, but it's not for nudity. I hear that setting the character age to 99 gives them all extra... erm... "jiggle".
