Grand Theft Auto IV... Again
GTA IV is easily the most hoaxed (and the easiest to spot hoaxes of) game around. Thing is, we can't ever imagine a Rockstar image that was this dull, grey or boring. Must try harder.
Halo on DS
After another boring shot-assault, it's time for some more video-based upliftery. This hoax movie of Halo running on the lowly DS is pretty good, despite the fact that only a moron would think Nintendo's handheld was capable of such techno feats. And, before the web crybabies yell at us, we know that there's an actual DS version of Halo (now canned). But this isn't it.
Super Smash Bros Brawl
It says something when a faked screenshot demands you look at it with a microscope to appreciate the 'leaked info' or 'secret facts' it is trying to peddle. King K Rool in Super Smash Bros? Highly doubtful - even more so now Nintendo has made itself no friends at all at the offices of K Rool's creator Rare, after reportedly stamping out the exciting 360 Arcade version of Goldeneye.
Star Trek Online

This is our favourite, if only for the humour value. Just imagine a die-hard Trekkie seeing the Deathstar peeking out from around a nearby planet. Think of the rabid froth of anger! Oh, the hilarity.
