The Bitmob staff is way too mature to try an elaborate April Fools' Day prank. Maybe we just forgot about April 1, or we were too busy rolling out a new version of the site to ever play tricks....

You'll find nothing but honest reporting on Bitmob today, including this handy round-up of some of the more amusing game-related shenanigans.

1. PopCap

PopCap announces its new gaming microwave that lets people get their Bejeweled on while heating up a burrito. The PlayWave comes with 167mb of storage and a setting that cooks food based on how well you're playing a game. Look for it this Christmas!

2. StarCraft

StarCraft makes a valiant return to home consoles, this time with full Kinect support! Challenge players around the world to intense motion-controlled matches.

3. 1UP

1UP.com gets a special look at an early build of Halo Dance Central. Check it out here.

4. Razer Talon

Take PC gaming to the next level with the Razer Talon bio-exoskeleton. Get the edge in your RTS of choice when you up your actions-per-minute from 100 to 300. Never mind that your hands could potentially burst into flame at such mind-boggling speeds.

5. Destructoid

Destructoid goes hand-written. Why not fax them a comment about how that makes you feel or whatever else you might "reckon?"

6. Nyko

For the low, low price of $99.99, you can get your own pair of 3DS 3D glasses. If that's too pricy, Nyko tell you how to make your own. How generous!

7. Minecraft

We all knew it was going to happen. Today's Minecraft update brought a new microtransaction system to the game. Now you can buy all sorts of in-game items and responses from tech support.

8. Think Geek

Do you like Angry Birds? Then you'll love these delicious Angry Birds Pork Rinds. They're green, just like the pig scum that made those birds so mad. That's not all Think Geek is offering today. Check out their site for more.

The not-so gaming hilarity

1. Reddit

Every year Reddit's community finds an incredibly boring YouTube video supported by Google Ad Sense and boosts its views astronomically. It's a harmless prank, but this year they chose one of their own user's boring videos. He was gaming the system, until someone caught on.

2. Gmail

Capitalizing on years of paralanguage research and the hip new idea of a motion-controlled existence, Gmail offers up Gmail Motion. This informative introductory video will explain.
