April Fools’ joke ends in misery - UPDATED
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008
Late Monday night/Tuesday morning, the official GTA VI site listed some April Fools’ news which stated that a HMV store in Birmingham (the site gave the address of a specific store) would be selling pre-release copies of the game on 360 at opening time on the 1st of April. Rockstar (presumably they were at the heart of the prank) presumed that GTA fans would either see through the fairly obvious joke, or would arrive at the store only to ask for a copy of an unreleased game and realise their own stupidity.
March has seen quite a few high-quality releases, with a few more to come before the end of the month. Because of this, you may think that the number of releases may slow down for April. If you think this, you are wrong and should be shot. If you think that there is only one game worth picking up coming out this month then you should also be shot. Not as much as those who think there are no games, but shot nonetheless. The number of released this month may be short but the quality means that April is most definitely a sweet month for gaming this year. There isn’t just one game coming out this month, but there is a game. A highly anticipated game. A game which, if it were released any other time than now would be game of the year, nay, century. Read on as we reveal the cracking line up for April.
