Well I guess Angry Birds is the best at space. BioWare may have launched copies of Mass Effect 3 into Earth's upper atmosphere, but Rovio got an actual astronaut in orbit. And one that channels Bill Nye, at that. NASA's Don Pettit took a few minutes aboard the International Space Station to officially announce Angry Birds Space, the new iteration of the hit mobile series that is taking our intrepid avians into the great starry beyond. Featuring sixty levels and new abilities and costumes for the birds, the gameplay is similar to previous Angry Birds installations, only with the added fun of differing physics, trajectories, and even gravity sources.
Angry Birds Space launches March 22 on iOS devices, Android, PC, and Mac.
It's a monumental weekend for Apple, which is days (hours? minutes?) away from 50 billion downloads.
It's not hard to think back to a time when the App store seemed insignificant, but looking at Apple's published lists of the... Who says you have to make AAA console games to make money? While the big guys are shutting down left and right, Rovio flings off their financial results for 2012 showing that they're growing at an amazing rate. The Espoo, Fin... 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 h...
I'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] When 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. Although the Angry Birds Trilogy had a 360, PS3, and 3DS release last year, it looks like the Activision/Rovio/Nintendo partnership is seeing more action in 2013, as the trilogy is now set for Wii and Wii U release.

Another week of new releases is upon us! I hope you're not broke.
After many months of furious debates, arguments, and colorful name calling, we can finally shut the hell up and just play (or not play) DmC: Devil May Cry.&nb... It'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... 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 ... In 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... |
