April Fool’s Day 2009: Best Pranks in the Gaming World
As you well know, yesterday was a perfect day for pranks and most of the game websites you know took full advantage of April Fool’s Day and posted some incredible, but still funny stories. We have tried to check out them all – but we failed. Still, we do have a huge list with the best pranks in the gaming world during this year’s April 1st. Here are the best stories, in no specific order:

- Blizzard prepares the super-cool Pimp My Mount for WoW
- The new character class in Diablo III is The Archivist
- Next PSP will be revolutionary – no buttons, no screen, no casing
