Console Your Angry Birds

Steve Quinn — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:47:23 +0000

The game is officially titled Angry Birds Trilogy and it is a compilation of the three blockbuster classics (Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio) for Kinect for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 with Move capability, and Nintendo 3DS. The console version is in stunning HD with totally new controls built for a living room, while the Nintendo 3DS game is the first truly new Angry Birds handheld experience.

“With Angry Birds Trilogy, every version supports the unique experience tailor-made for the platform. In addition to normal gamepad controls, with Xbox 360 we support Kinect for easy family-friendly game play. We’re seeing that resonate strongly especially with the younger audience. With PS3 you can play also with the Move controller. On Nintendo 3DS we’re supporting Stereoscopic 3D and Streetpass,”

“We are working hard to ensure that no matter what platform you choose to play on, you will always get the best possible game play experience.”

- said Petri Järvilehto, Executive Vice President, Rovio Entertainment Ltd.

Angry Birds Trilogy will be available later on in the year on Kinect for Xbox 360, PlayStation3 with Move capability and Nintendo 3DS.

Top Angry Birds Alternatives on iPhone

Steve Quinn — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:20:41 +0000

Between its multiple iOS incarnations (Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio), its high-profile partnerships with the likes of Samsung and NASA, and a fast-growing range of toys and other non-gaming products, the Angry Birds empire is one of the biggest on the entertainment landscape.

So, if you’ve three starred every level and pulverised every pig, there should be something in the list below to keep you occupied.

Amazing Breaker and Amazing Breaker Free

The success of Angry Birds can be attributed in part to the very human desire to smash stuff up. Dekovir’s Amazing Breaker understands this basic need, and caters to it in visceral fashion, lining up all manner of fragile objects for players to reduce to their component atoms. Smashing fun.

Snoticles

If you can get past the gross title and childish obsession with bodily functions, you’ll find Snoticles to be an extremely solid interpretation of the artillery puzzler formula. Just make sure you don’t pick up any bad habits while you’re playing.

Hank Hazard and Hank Hazard Lite

If lobbing animals into dangerous environments is your bag, then this fur-filled creature comfort may be just the diversion you’re looking for. An enjoyable combination of platforming antics and ball-tossing mechanics, Chillingo’s hazardous title just happens to feature a hamster dressed up as Evil Knievel. Enough said.

Crush the Castle Inc and Crush the Castle Free

When it comes to Angry Birds alternatives, they don’t come much more controversial than Crush the Castle. The debate as to which developer copied which rages to this day, but there’s no denying that, bar a few aesthetic differences, these two games are mutually offensive peas in a rather bitter pod. Worth playing for context alone.

Pocket Tanks Deluxe

Based on the Amiga classic Scorched Tanks (which was itself inspired by the grandaddy of the artillery genre Scorched Earth), this retro strategy-shooter from Blitwise reminds us of a simpler time when projectile trajectories were controlled by arrow keys, not touchscreens. Note: touchscreen controls supported.

GhostStorm Gaming News’ Guide To FREE GAMES For Your iPHONE – iPAD AND iPOD TOUCH

Steve Quinn — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 17:23:59 +0000

If you already have an iPhone,iPod or an iPad then you will obviously know what the App Store is about. The problem is there is thousands of apps, including free ones and finding the right game can become a mammoth task. However, I have found some of the best games out there and will be doing this every month. So have a look below and feel free to leave a comment with a suggestion if you believe that you play a free game worth mentioning. Also if you are a developer and want me to look at one of your games then please do feel free to contact me directly.

Tiny Tower
By NimbleBit

This game is kind of similar to the classic MAXIS title, Sim Tower. The point of Tiny Tower is simple: build a high rise building then pack it full of pixellated citizens; open up some restaurants, spas, clubs, and other attractions then put its inhabitants to work making you cash.

It’s your job to ensure that your range of outlets is constantly kept stocked, your “bitizens” have their dream jobs, your tower’s elevator is upgraded, and that VIPs are taken care of. No, not in a mafia way.

The Sims FreePlay
By Electronic Arts

Even the youngest gamers among you should have heard of EA’s immensely popular The Sims franchise, which allows you to create your own character, and complete a selection of real-world tasks in a digital universe. This free bite-sized effort follows that well-established tradition.

Your daily routine sees you with find your Sim a job, look after pets, spend tons of in-game cash (Simoleons) on household items to spruce up your abode, and complete other similar domestic chores.

Words With Friends Free
By Zynga

Zynga’s Words With Friends isn’t unlike popular boardgame Scrabble. What do we mean by that? Well, the social giant’s word game tasks you with outscoring your opponent by constructing the biggest and best word from a string of randomly generated letters.

This free ad-supported version of the game allows you to simultaneously challenge up to 20 of your Facebook, iPhone-, iPad-, iPod touch-, and Android-toting buddies. If you don’t have any friends, however, you can also thrash complete strangers.

Real Football 2012
By Gameloft

Gameloft is currently experimenting heavily with the freemium payment model, which means you can grab titles such as Real Football 2012 completely free of charge.

Well, the French publisher has managed to nab the FIFPro licence, which means you can get your goalie gloves on thousands of real-world players, 350 proper teams (and Everton), and 14 league championships from around the world. You can even lead a side of your choice to fortune and glory as a manager – providing you have the required skills.

Angry Birds Free
By Rovio Mobile

Angry Birds Free features challenging physics-based demolition gameplay, and lots of replay value. The 15 levels, set in 5 mini episodes, have been created specifically for Angry Birds Free. Each of the levels requires logic, skill, and brute force to crush the enemy.

Theme Park
By Electronic Arts

The best-selling Theme Park series is back, and designed exclusively for your iOS device!
