posted by Patrick-Star54

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away a bird chirped and forever shifted the balance of the force. Are you prepared for what could be the biggest thing since the invention of the light saber?

It’s Official! New Info Emerges from the Dark Side

That didn’t take long! Looks like Fast Company will get the exclusive sneak peek at the forthcoming “Angry Birds Star Wars” game, which will include a huge line up of licensed products. The most notable nugget is that Angry Birds Star Wars will “hit devices” on October 28th (though there is some debate on that). That’s right! It’s a native...

Exclusive Angry Birds Roost Companion App Coming to Lumia Smartphones

posted by Patrick-Star54

Nokia and Rovio have teamed up to offer exclusive Angry Birds content to some Nokia smartphone owners. With the upcoming launch of Nokia’s two flagship smartphones — the Lumia 920 and 820 — they are offering a new companion app called, “Angry Birds Roost”. Angry Birds Roost will be available exclusively on the 920 and 820 for 3-months. After that, we presume it will become available on other Windows-powered Nokia smartphones. It remains to be seen what happens after that.

Angry Birds Roost is a type of hub, which will include to:

Angry Birds World Traveler: Concept and Infographic

Angry Birds World Traveller

We all have been wondering what the future holds for Angry Birds. While we all would like to see the original app and Seasons continuing onward, it seems -– or it was at least the initial plan -– that Rio would end in November (-ish). So, if Rovio chooses to close out Rio by year’s end, what would happen after that?

Well, everyone has been talking about an “Angry Birds 2: Revenge of the Pigs” -– an app where the pigs retaliate against the birds. While I may be biased (I’m a fan of the birds, not the pigs) I think this app is rather limited. Basically, what special abilities can...

Super Angry Birds – An Awesomely Tangible Controller

posted by Patrick-Star54

Out of all the real-world ways I’ve seen Angry Birds controlled / played — and there have been many — the “Super Angry Birds” controller is hands down the most elegant to date. It’s just so darn pretty! While it will never replace a tap or a mouse, it could actually be quite fun to play this way. Now the real question is: how can I get one? Hats off to Hideaki Matsui and Andrew Spitz — the creators of this awesome controller.

If you’re curious as to how this works, below is the info from the YouTube page:

Angry Birds Newsletter: Bad Piggies Preparing to Retaliate Against the Angry Birds

posted by Yellow-Bird

Alright, details are sparse at the moment, but Rovio is definitely planning something. Sometime during the night the Pigs formed themselves a union and decided they needed to go public (you can see their press release below). In addition to the press release, those portly pigs have launched their own Facebook and Twitter accounts. So what’s going on? My guess is this will eventually end up with a brand new game, but that’s just me. Whatcha thinkin?! Yu likez? Share your insightful thoughts and opinions below.

Here is copy from the official press release from the, “King Pig Office” on “Piggy Island”:

Angry Birds Space Red Planet Update Out Now

posted by Yellow-Bird

Now that the Curiosity Rover has landed on Mars, we can get a firsthand look at what truly is happening on the Red Planet. Angry Birds Space v1.3.0 has landed for iOS, PC, and Android via Google Play, with other platforms coming soon. Don’t let the descriptions in the video confuse you: Even though Rovio reported (and continues to report) that the planet is “Coming this Fall“, apparently the seasons in Finland are a bit different than elsewhere in the world.

Attention Amazon Users: We have reports that the faultiness of Amazon versions of Angry Birds has continued. Most of our reports...

It doesn’t stop there though, as those sneaky piggies have poked there noses into the original Angry Birds game with a brand new episode (Greedy Pigs! As if having their own app wasn’t good enough!).

Note, still waiting on iPad update. There must have been an issue that needed to be addressed. We will let...

Angry Birds Season Haunted Hogs Main Screen

Boooo! We broke the news of this update first. Angry Birds Seasons v3.0.0 is now available for iOS, PC, and Android via Google Play, with more platforms coming soon. The update includes a brand new episode called, “Haunted Hogs”, which appears inside a new, “Seasons 3″ group. In typical Seasons fashion this looks to be a spooktacular update. Without further ado, let me jump into the gory details.

Bad Piggies Ultimate Backup Tutorial for all Platforms

posted by Patrick-Star54

Are you worried about losing all of your hard work in Bad Piggies? Scared those sneaky pigs may sneak up behind you and eat your progress? Or are you just looking for a little extra security in your gaming life? The goal of this guide is to help you in the event something goes horribly wrong. In some cases, these backup methods can ALSO be used to transfer your progress to another device. This way you don’t have to start from scratch. That said, as of now transferring progress only really works when the devices are the same (e.g. iOS to iOS, for example).

Angry Birds Seasons “Haunted Hogs” Update Coming Soon!

posted by Patrick-Star54

You’ve heard it here first! I think we can put the speculation to rest. In keeping with tradition, Angry Birds Seasons will receive its third annual Halloween update. And not only do we know that the update is coming, but we are relatively sure it will be called, “Haunted Hogs”. This could obviously change, but only time will tell.

Now, details are very very sparse at the moment, but we are willing to speculate about a few things. Our disclaimer here is that absolutely nothing is confirmed or official, but since these questions will likely be asked by fans, we will express our opinions...

New Angry Birds Friends Lotus F1 Tournament on Facebook

posted by Patrick-Star54

You might have already noticed that this week’s Angry Birds Friends Tournament is a bit different from the previous ones. If not, let me explain. This week we are being treated to a special, “Lotus F1 Team” Tournament. Not only does the tournament include four brand new racing-inspired levels, but there are also 60 prizes up for grabs! One of those prizes is Kimi Räikkönen’s racing suit. If you’re not a racing fan don’t fret, just play the levels for fun and bragging rights!

Participating is simple: Once you complete all four levels a congratulatory box will come up. Enter your email address to enter the drawing. “Sixty winners will be chosen from players who ‘Like’ the Lotus F1 Team Facebook fan page.” In other words, it sounds like it’s a random drawing and not a competition based around your total score.

Cartoon Network may take on Angry Birds with own digital IP

posted by Patrick-Star54

Cartoon Network is considering developing original content as apps and games first rather than as TV shows, in an effort to create its own digital brands to rival the likes of Angry Birds.

"One of the things we are considering and talking about is how do we play in that digital space for original content?" said Stuart Snyder, president and chief operating officer of parent company Turner's Animation, Young Adults and Kids division.

"I don't think everything has to be created as a show. Things can be developed as shorts, they can start as games, they can start as apps… That is the nature, more...

Angry Birds Rio Fruit Market Update Coming Soon

Do not delete Angry Birds Rio!

On the heals of Angry Birds Rio’s first update in nearly nine months, some of our fantastic sleuths have uncovered even more good news! Angry Birds Rio will receive a full-sized update, in a new episode called Fruit Market! We have learned our lesson since the Pig Dipper incident, so here is our standard disclaimer, “The episode title is subject to change”. Our guess is that the general theme of the episode will be based on the deleted scene from the movie, which we have included below for your viewing pleasure.

Details are extremely scarce, of course. We...
