Apple's iGame is totally iFake

Here's the deal: a leaked scan from the April issue of gaming mag EGM promises that "Apple bites into the portable-gaming market" with a handheld game system dubbed--we kid you not--the iGame. While we don't doubt the veracity of the scanned images, faithful readers of EGM are well aware of their April Fools jokes including, but not limited to, the Sheng Long code in Street Fighter II, and the ire-inducing Wind Waker preorder bonus.

The entire thing has been catalogued and transcribed at Station A for the curious. Future Apple product prognosticating is an ancient tradition that EGM is pretty late to, with a particularly weak entry no less. Who's gonna believe the iGame when we all know that Apple is definitely working on a Video iPod, that's also a cell phone... and a tablet PC... and that's the system that will have handheld gaming functionality! You heard it here first, folks.
