WUT. No, seriously. WUT. The fact that there is Angry Birds soda isn't what shocks me. You can buy novelty Mega Man and Pac-Man energy drinks. I sampled some very sugary Mario-themed beverages back in the day. Hell, remember Sonic the Hedgehog Pasta? What's surprising is that Finland is so crazy for Angry Birds that even all-powerful brands like Coca-Cola or Pepsi can't keep up. It's almost unreal. How in the world does anybody actually beat Coke and Pepsi at their own game? Rovio CMO Peter Vesterbacka said that the soda will make its way to Australia and New Zealand in the near future. I wouldn't be surprised if the company tried to bring it to the US eventually as well. I've got to try this concoction that was able to dethrone the soft drink kings in even a single country.

7:00 AM on 03.06.2013 Some classic game songs with a Middle-Eastern twistI've listened to plenty of videogame musical covers in the seven years I've worked at Destructoid. Yet, this is the first time I've heard of a musical cover montage with a Middle-Eastern twist to them. There's even some games covered here I'd never expect, like Alley Cat. [Via The Awesomer]
4:00 PM on 02.22.2013 Five most notorious videogame ripoffs of all-timeWhen I first heard that Electronic Arts was suing Zynga over The Ville, a rather blatant ripoff of EA’s The Sims Social, I was pretty excited to see the outcome. After all, there’s nothing worse than a company whose only business model is to steal the works of small game developers, and given some of The Ville's obvious lifts, it seemed as though EA had a very solid case.

1:30 PM on 12.11.2012 Despicable Me producer attached to Angry Birds movieIt's wild to think how successful Rovio has been in adapting Angry Birds to so many different areas -- in fact, a full-fledged animated movie seems relatively tame by comparison. The company has given another update on the An...
6:30 PM on 10.08.2012 Angry Birds Star Wars sounds like what you would expectIn retrospect, Rovio Entertainment collaborating with Lucasfilm seems spot on. Not so much thematically, but in terms of how both Star Wars and Angry Birds have made obscene amounts of money through merchandising. Now, t...
