I agree, it's cruel to "announce" games that, if they were real and didn't have such ludicrous "specs", would actually be really good... still though, it's pretty funny stuff.
I mean, Blackthorne 2: Thorne Harder?

... Yeah, Blizzard always wins at April Fool's Day. :) Twitter and Facebook updates, he never looks where he's shooting... good stuff.
... And Queen's Quest is maybe even funnier. (It's a Starcraft graphic adventure starring the Queen of Blades!)
Isn't DRM awesome? :D

Quote: * Uncannily lifelike AI
* 100% photorealistic graphics
* Epic hard rock soundtrack
* Magical, revolutionary gameplay that builds on Kyle's signature no-look shotgun blast. Now he never looks where he's shooting!
* Twitter and Facebook integration to automatically post updates for every single enemy you kill. Your friends will thank you.

Quote: * Sweeping saxophone soundtrack
* Literary consultation from “A Couple of Dudes from Mar Sara”
* Comes on 17 floppy disks
* A revolutionary new Digital Rights Management (DRM) scheme in 5 easy steps:
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
