The game only launched today, but Angry Birds Space rocketed past Draw Something as the #1 top selling and top grossing app for the iOS platform, and it continues to climb into an orbit all its own on the iTunes App Store. (OK, enough space cliches).
The Angry Birds are launching into space later this month. For a game that relies on gravity and trajectory, the sequel concept has led to some fair questions and cheeky observations. Today, Rovio took the wraps off the game, showing off gameplay footage, and even a little science demonstration by NASA astronaut Don Pettit.
The Angry Birds empire continues to expand. Rovio has announced its next Angry Birds game: Angry Birds Space. It will be the fifth game in the series since the franchise's debut in 2009, following Seasons, Rio, and the recent launch of the Facebook game.
As promised, Angry Birds is now available on Facebook--just in case you can't get enough of the suicidal bird bombers on your iPhone, Android device, PS3, etc.
The gameplay in the Facebook version hasn't changed much, but there are new social elements, brand new power-ups, and Facebook-exclusive levels.
Gene Simmons and KISS are the poster children of the term "selling out." You need not look any further than KISS Hello Kitty, which apparently is a thing.
Apparently, Simmons and company are eager to return to games. But don't expect a sequel to the Dreamcast-era game, KISS Psycho Circus. It appears KISS will be collaborating with one of gaming's biggest brands--Angry Birds.
It's a surprise that the prolific Angry Birds franchise has yet to makes its way onto Facebook. That's about to change come February, as Rovio looks to expand its billion-dollar franchise to new platforms.
The Facebook version of Angry Birds is scheduled for a Valentine's Day launch and will offer new features not found in the mobile version of the game. Social is obviously a big focus, as leaderboards will play heavily into the game's design.
Have you honed your Angry Bird skills? Good, because you'll be able to win prizes with the latest Rovio release: Angry Birds: The Hunt for the Golden Pistachio. Sponsored by Wonderful Pistachios, this tie-in game is playable on your computer's browser, preferably Google Chrome according to the numerous pop-ups that appear on the site.
It looks, sounds, and plays just like the Angry Birds you've come to know on other platforms. But this time, you're vying for prizes totaling more than $300,000.
"I can't tell if you are joking or not.. because there IS an ad-free version in the marketplace ..."
