APRIL FOOL! Sorry, had to blow the whole show to bits, just can't help it. I am a party pooper on the showroom, not afraid to stick a 1 star in a sea of people cooing, 'I LUV U! 5!'

Hehe... April Fool's Day. Didn't work on me.

I like the idea, but I wasn't fooled for a second.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me three times, shame on me.

GOOD ONE MAN, You got me. I read this and the only word that I would use is "WTF." Lego NFS. That would be the BIGGEST Mistake from EA, just like Carbon and Pro Street. But I admit it, you got me. Hopefully the REAL news about Next NFS Title will start to show up soon. Can wait!

lol. Nice one. To be honest, Lego IS coming out with an MMOG at some point, but it's not even going to be made by EA as far as I know.
