Apple iGame?

by

Station A posts a pdf and image of an article in the April issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly entitled "i GOT GAME: Apple bites into the portable-gaming market".

The article depicts a Nintendo Gameboy / iPod hybrid image which claims to be an Apple portable game machine to be introduced by Apple called the iGame.

EGM reportedly posts April Fools articles in their April magazine issues, which this is felt to be:

Thanks to the many readers who have written in to fill me in on some of EGMs past April Fools Day plants. Given the questionable details presented in the article (firewire on a new device when we are seeing Apple phase out firewire connectivity on new models of iPods?), and the fact it seems very highly unlikely that EGM would break the news on a release as big as this as opposed to his Steveness, it would appear that EGM has decided to pull the collective leg of the Mac faithful. Keep an eye on 1UP.com, EGMs parent website, to see if they own up to their trickery.
