Rovio has expanded their Angry Birds empire today, conquering the last foreseeable platform left with Angry Birds Space: Steam. It's weird to think about, but, yes, this is the very first time an Angry Birds title has made its way to the dominant digital PC platform. And, to celebrate its arrival, Steam is having a $1 off sale until March 14, leaving the sale price at $3.99. It's the same game you'd expect, only now toting Steam Leaderboards, Achievements, and Cloud functionality. Pretty cool for people who are into it. I don't dig the whole Angry Birds thing, but I can imagine that I'd like it a little better now using a mouse and keyboard instead of touch controls. Should I go for it?

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...

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 ...
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...
