I think Blizzard has some of the best gags. Matchmaking! (http://us.battle.net/matchmaking.html)

And then this (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/mobile/). Except I wish Blackthorne 2: Thorne Harder was real.

          o Open the Spin-A-Spacer DRM application on any smart phone*
          o Line up the spacer faces to reveal the page/word matrix value
          o Consult your player guide / lore manual, and turn to the appropriate page
          o Use the special 3d lenticular glasses to decode the margin text and find the keyword passphrase
          o Enter the special passphrase into the on-screen prompt
          o Speak “OK” clearly and audibly into the device’s audio input
          o ENJOY! (Occassionally, you may be asked to call a toll-free 800 number to verify your identity)

*note: iPhone users will need to open the application on a secondary handset

"5 easy steps"  ;D

I'd love to see a new Blackthorne, maybe updated along the lines of Shadow Complex.

Haha, I love the Queen's Quest play on Space Quest, from the "ingine" to the graphics to the "two dudes from Andromeda".

The best April Fools joke is this one from 2006 (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6146958.html?page=4). Reading it today it doesn't even read like a joke at all.
