There is a legitimate, free version of Angry Birds for Android. But one app that appeared on the Android Market (now Google Play) last year wasn’t it. It was a fake, a piece of malware explicitly designed to part phone owners from their cash. Now, the scammers that took the money have been ordered to give it back.
Angry Birds on Facebook is now Angry Birds Friends, a re-naming that will either horrify you or launch a new Facebook gaming addiction.
It looks like the creators of Angry Birds, Rovio, isn’t satisfied with only one nest for their avian children. Not only are they planning on building an Angry Birds theme park in Finland, they are working on multiple roosts in China.
China has some very interesting culinary habits some of which folks from the west will find just outright whacky. One slightly normal but definitely strange habit is the Chinese love for pork products, and in particular the ham sausage (火腿肠). Now Rovio and Chinese pork products producer, JoyCome, have partnered together to bring Angry Birds and ham sausages together to create Angry Birds meat snacks.
Game studio Rovio is working on a follow up to its wildly successful Angry Birds. Today on Finnish television, Rovio honcho Mikael Hed gave the first details about his studio’s upcoming title.
The Angry Birds franchise has only been around since December 2009. Yet, today, Finnish developer Rovio announced that its hit mobile game has been downloaded more than one billion times.
Angry Birds remains big business. The original, now-classic game continues to expand, and the sequel, Angry Birds Space, just hit the 50-million download milestone in 35 days.
