Did you think Arnold Schwarzenegger’s plan to create a cartoon series called The Governator was all an April Fools’ joke? Well, the joke’s on you as Ah-nuld also plans to create a comic books series, a movie and a video game based on his Governator “character.”

“First will come comic books, then a TV series and after that we will develop the games and then a movie,” Schwarzenegger told a packed room of international journalists at global TV market MipTV in Cannes.

You can check out the first trailer for the cartoon series above where a powersuited Schwarzenegger steps down from the governor’s office and battles a group of bank-robbing Terminators with the help of his kids. Sure, it’s silly, but it also looks totally awesome.

On Friday, the Internet lost its collective mind as the world celebrated April Fools’ Day. We dug through all the craziness in our April Fools’ Day Watch and, I have to admit, Smash M.N.C. would make an abosolutely game.

Earlier in the week had a lengthy chat with Kevin Schmitt, Lead Multiplayer Designer forSOCOM 4: U.S. Navy Seals. We got to talk extensively about the multiplayer, from game modes to progression paths, and how the buddy system plays a large role in the game.

But since it’s the end of the month, we discussed what we played in March 2011 in the very first Warpback compilation and we laid out our picks for the biggest games of April 2011 in the latest The Next Level.

Finally, we learned all about The Undead States of America, which was totally not an April Fools’ Day joke. OK, maybe it is. But if we all wish hard enough, it might become real.
