My iOS games update 6/23/11

Today is Sonic's 20th Anniversary! If you search through the net, many celebrations can be found, and one of them from Japan is placed here

Besides, I noticed a new title released in the iTunes App Store by Sega is Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing at offered price $1.99 for the next two days! According to the official notes, the price will revert to $4.99 after the offer period. But seems like this game couldn't run well for iPhone 3G or lower spec device and it didn't mention in the description, so users please take note.

Angry Birds Season has a new update again, the Summer Pignic episode. The green pigs are always funnier than the monkeys in Angry Birds Rio :p

Devil May Cry refrain also has its update in this month, with the new game mode "HEAVEN or HELL" which lets you kill enemy or be killed with a single hit!

Some other titles from Capcom like Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil Mercenaries VS, Dead Rising Mobile are dropping the price to $0.99 for limited time offer too.

My iOS games update 3/24/11

Angry Birds Rio is finally up on iTunes, according to many reviews from the users, there will be some ads in the game which ruins the quality of the game and made the game glitchy. Meanwhile, Devil May Cry 4 refrain has a new update, and it's now included the new battle stage, "Bloody Palace"! So I'm now leaving Angry Birds Rio for a moment and I'll stick on Devil May Cry and update my game guide for the necessary parts.

The Bloody Palace is a 51 stages arena, and each 10 stages will fall into a boss fight and the last stage will find your Doppelganger (Nero/Dante). You have to stay alive and defeat the enemies within time limit to proceed. The time limit will extend when you defeat an enemy, I think it depends on the style point as well. Clear the Bloody Palace will gain a lot of Proud Souls and your score will go to the Game Center leaderboard.

Add me on Game Center if you would like to challenge my score :)

Check out my DMC4 refrain game guide/walkthrough here.

Additionally, Street Fighter IV has a new update as well.

Angry Birds hits Facebook later in this year

- Developer Rovio also says driving and sport spin-offs possible once Rio tie-in is out; console versions still on-course -

Including not just the inevitable TV/movie spin-off, but a new 'collaborative' Facebook game, plus Angry Birds games in other genres like driving and sports.

On Facebook, "there will be completely new aspects to it that just haven't been experienced in any other platform," said studio boss Mikael Hed, who confirms that due to the social site's 'collaborative nature', "the pigs will have a more prominent role".

Meanwhile, Peter Vesterbacka, Rovio's 'might eagle' (business development) in the piece confirms that other spin-offs could be in the driving and sports genres, moving away from the puzzle-strategy 2D game's origins.

The studio is launching Angry Birds Rio in a matter of days, which is a tie-in with a Fox movie and swaps the villainous pigs for monkeys seen in the film.

"We're building an integrated entertainment franchise where merchandising, games, movies, TV, cartoons and comics all come together," said Vesterbacka.

He calls Rovio's strategy 'Disney 2.0'.

Hed added: "Look at how Disney got started. Steamboat Willie created Mickey Mouse, then they added more characters. You can see the same pattern today, but everything is happening much, much faster. Other brands used to build recognition over the course of decades. We've done it in one year."

The firm also says it will probably launch its next game - it's 53rd - next year.

In the meantime "we are building our infrastructure with Angry Birds," said Vesterbacka. "So we have the distribution, the marketing, everything in place, so that we can basically take any IP and drop it in. And we have the capability of producing the games on all the platforms - smartphone, consoles, PCs, Mac, online, Facebook - you name it. Then the TV, the movie side, it will happen when the time is right."

Angry Birds Rio 2011!

It's a bit late, but still want to share this, the Angry Birds Rio! Rovio and 20th Century Fox are proud to announce unique partnership uniting Angry Birds with summer animated feature film Rio.

From the makers of the hit Ice Age series, Rio is a comedy-adventure about taking a walk on the wild side. Blu is a domesticated Macaw who never learned to fly, living a comfortable life with his owner and best friend Linda in the small town of Moose Lake, Minnesota. Blu and Linda think he’s the last of his kind, but when they learn about another Macaw who lives in Rio de Janeiro, they head to the faraway and exotic land to find Jewel, Blu’s female counterpart.

Not long after they arrive, Blu and Jewel are kidnapped by a group of bungling animal smugglers. With the help of street smart Jewel, and a group of wise-cracking and smooth-talking city birds, Blu escapes. Now, with his new friends by his side, Blu will have to find the courage to learn to fly, thwart the kidnappers who are hot on their trail, and return to Linda, the best friend a bird ever had.

In Angry Birds Rio, the original Angry Birds are kidnapped and taken to the magical city of Rio, where they eventually escape their captors and set out to to save their friends, Blu and Jewel – two rare macaws and the stars of the upcoming Fox motion picture, Rio. Angry Birds Rio will pair the physics-based gameplay of the original game with unique twists based on the highly-anticipated film.

Angry Birds Rio will launch with 45 dedicated levels and will regularly add new levels via app updates. The game will be available for download on smart phones and tablets worldwide.

Angry Birds animated series is announced

Angry Birds developer Rovio announced a marketing deal for "Angry Birds" last year, when word first surfaced of interest from Hollywood for either a big-screen movie or a TV series, according to CEO Mikael Hed.

Speaking to British TV industry site C21media (as reported by The New York Post), Hed said the company has been looking at “broadcast content” based around the game for a while now, and that the company is finally ready to “move into production” on an animated series for TV or the web.

Rovio has been shopping the Angry Birds license to various production studios and representation agencies since last August, though no specific content deals have been announced.

The move would make the popular title, which has been downloaded over 50 million times since its debut on iOS in late 2009, the first original mobile property to be adapted for other mass media. The title is also available on Android phones and the new Mac App Store, among other app platforms.

Mattel unveiled an Angry Birds board game at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month, complete with a spring-loaded slingshot to launch plastic birds at constructed pig fortresses. The game is due in stores for $15 this May.

Rovio also sells Angry Birds branded plush toys and iPhone cases through their online store.

Angry Birds publisher Chillingo was recently purchased by Electronic Arts, though the deal did not include licensing rights to the Angry Birds property or publishing rights to future games.

Season's Greedings from Angry Birds Team!

Angry Birds - Season's Greedings!



Just cleared the last stage of the Angry Birds Seasons (iPhone), and got this video, greeding from Angry Birds Team, good job! The game is fun!

Video made by Manu Järvinen & Markus Tuppurainen
Music & audio made by Ari Pulkkinen (http://www.aritunes.com)

Talk about the new update - Season's Greedings, for my opinion it is easier than Trick or Treat (was Halloween edition), but it brings a great new challenge to the game. Other than all new tricky stages, the "anti-gravity" snow blocks are the main obstacle of the stages, it is easy to be destroyed but it won't fall when the objects below of it are taken out. The Season's Greedings took me a lot of time to clear although it has only 25 stages. Needless to say, I'll get all 3 stars next :p
