Late Night Consoling
Alec Matias

It appears most sites decided to devote their time on creating April Fool's Day jokes instead of digging up some news, but hey, we all gotta have fun at some point, right? My favorite console-related one probably goes to GameSpot's story of John Woo directing the Katamari Damacy movie with The Rock playing the Prince of Space. Although I must give props to IGN for bagging on Uwe Boll, saying he's directing the Metroid movie. Sadly, there weren't any gags out there that were plausible, which are always the best, like Jason's GTA: Sin City from a few years back. I'll fix that for next year.
