Some of the vids are quite funny; personal fav is the Elcor mass effect 2 love scene on Gametrailers. However, they are all awful April fools jokes because most of them are unbelievable.
True the elcor romance was awesome, though I think this video wins out just for sheer polish :p

Also, this I would totally watch this in cinemas for at least 10 mins.

UGH! I saw this yesterday. My god! What nightmarish mind thought that up?
The fact that I'm from India and understood the lyrics made it worse.
Hilarious in a rather WHAT THE HELL?! kind of way.

Bollywood doesn't even make proper musicals actually. The songs appear literally out of nowhere and don't really contribute to the story. Occasionally they put it in the story like a club song or wedding song.

By the way, the singers/dancers are a group called "Ishaara" (to call/summon)and were on
America's Got Talent

That was funny. Definatly better than alot of the April Fool's jokes I saw today, or yesterday if you live in a time zone at least an hour ahead of where I live in.

Well, *I* liked it a lot! This is coming from someone who really, really doesn't like IGN all that much. But I gotta give them credit where credit is due, this movie just takes a TOTALLY unexpected turn.

...and this was the only way I could get my mother remotely interested in the Halo series. Well played, IGN, well played.

HOW DARE IGN MAKE SOMETHING TO MOCK THE BEAUTIFUL SERIES OF HALO! I AM INCREDIBLY OFFENDED BY THIS, AND I THINK IGN SHOULD GO FU-

Bwaahahaha...sorry i can't keep that fake pretense of offense up any longer. In all seriousness, i found this parody hilarious. And for those who REALLY are offended...harden the fuck up already sheesh!

And that's what makes them so wonderful.

OT: It was great, however it would have been more Bollywood if they fought the covenant in the Swiss Alps.

Bollywood Halo was one of the best I've seen all April Fools. Only thing to match it was the EPEN meter for WoW.

It was pretty funny, but only because I enjoy Bollywood so much, I have no love for "Walo".

Bollywood Halo I'd say is pretty well on par with their faux Zelda trailer from a couple years back, but for an entirely different reason. And the fact that they pulled that twist rather than play it straight makes all the difference here.

Still, I think that TOR's Sarlacc Enforcer gives IGN a run for their money. I mean, come on. Spitting people as weapons? A frikken Death Star weapon? You got to admit that's funny.

...Maybe fans of Halo find it more funny that I did, but Bioware's Elcor Sex Scene or Blizzard's April Fools jokes (all of them - Snuggie, GPS...) were way funnier.

You'e never watched a bollywood movie, I'm sure.
Correct, although I wouldn't want to watch a film where people sing and dance all the way through a film instead of developing the story.
So like... West Side Story, The Music Man, My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, Hello Dolly!, Man of La Mancha, Grease, Evita, Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera, Sweeny Todd, and pretty much every Disney classic?
I HATE THEM SO MUCH!



Seriously, I hate singing and dancing around on movies.

I actually thought the video was hilarious, but then again, I'm no rabid Halo fan. =)

Google Japan's is better than this, just for putting all the Japanese characters they can onto multiple keyboards and turning it into a drum. Ingenious!

How about a film whose story progresses through...*gasp* singing and dancing?!
Well I remember seeing a film called Sweeny Todd which progressed through singing and it just really irritated me, but I guess I just don't like that style of film. I?d much rather watch a film like Constantine.
