Rovio may get smaller
Rovio announces possible job cuts
39
The Finnish studio behind Angry Birds, Rovio has announced that job cuts may be on the cards to simplify the company. CEO Mikael Hed admitted in a blog post published today the company has been growing on assumptions, a tactic that's clearly not sustainable in today's competitive market. We are an entrepreneurial company and have been exploring multiple areas. We have been...

40
Rovio has finally released a new version of Angry Birds Star Wars II for Windows Phone that includes a major update, adding the new Rise of the Clones chapter. The update was first released for iOS devices a few weeks ago, but at least Windows Phone owners didn't have to wait too long to get this new content. There's quite a lot for fans to check out in this update: NEW ELEMENTS!...
Angry Birds Epic now available for free on Windows Phone
108
Rovio's latest instalment in the Angry Birds franchise is an RPG, which is quite different from the physics-based gameplay that has made the series an international hit. Called Angry Birds Epic, the game was soft-launched in Canada, Australia and New Zealand earlier this year, but is available globally now. Angry Birds Epic follows a free-to-play model that is becoming increasingly...

Angry Birds Go! lands early in the Windows Phone Store but not playable yet
142
We had expected the latest installment in the Angry Birds series of Windows Phone games, Angry Birds Go!, to land in the Store on December 11, 2013. However, many awoke this morning to find the title already listed in the Store as a non-Xbox Windows game. Sadly though, it appears the game isn't completely ready for play. Angry Birds Go! departs from the traditional style of gaming...

Angry Birds Star Wars 2 updated with bug fixing and minor improvements
16
Angry Birds Star Wars 2 has been bumped to version 1.0.1.0, but isn't joined by an official changelog. Because the version increment is rather minor, we can only assume the update addresses reported bugs and implements some improvements. The Xbox for Windows Phone title was released in September and has proven to become a rather popular game. Should you not be familiar with the name,...
Angry Birds Star Wars II lands on the Store for Xbox Windows Phone a day early
118
Behold, young Padawans, as Angry Birds Star Wars II is now live on the Store for Windows Phone 8 users—and it’s even a day early from the official September 19 launch date (beating out iOS and Android). What is even more fantastic? Those with a Lumia 520 or other 512 MB devices can get in on the action too. The game weighs in at 32 MB and will cost you 99 cents (with a free trial). The...
Angry Birds Rio now partying on Windows Phone 7 and 8
58
It’s time for another new Xbox Windows Phone game this week. Sadly, Gameloft’s N.O.V.A. 3 didn’t make it out yet, but we still expect it at the end of May or early June. Instead, this week’s release is the not too surprising but still appreciated Angry Birds Rio from Rovio. I say not surprising because two weeks ago Microsoft and Nokia both announced that Rio would be coming very soon....
Lots of Angry Birds updates on Windows Phone and Windows 8 bring new levels and fixes
31
Today’s a big day for Windows 8 games, what with Temple: Run Brave finally releasing (not to mention Dr. Pickaxe’s indie pinball action). On top of that, it also happens to be a great day for Angry Birds on Windows 8 AND Windows Phone. Why? First of all, I heard some pigs got knocked over and crushed by blocks. You know how Angry Birds love that. More to the point: on Windows Phone 8,...
Angry Birds Rio flying south to Windows Phone 'very soon'
45
Countless Windows Phone gamers are currently pelting pigs with ball-shaped birds in the original Angry Birds (also known as Angry Birds Classic), which is free right now on both Windows Phone 7 and 8. But the release of that classic game hasn’t prompted Rovio to rest on its laurels. As it turns out, the Finnish developer has another Angry Birds sequel in the pipeline for us....
Windows Phone 7 and 8 gets new ports of Angry Birds and they're free for a limited time!
134
When we didn’t hear from Microsoft about an Xbox Windows Phone release this week, we feared that there wouldn’t a new game today. It turns out that we should have had faith, because a new release did quietly slip out, and it’s an interesting one! Following on the heels of their early April release, Amazing Alex, Rovio now breaks in the month of May with the game that started their rise...
Rovio brings Amazing Alex to Windows Phone 7 too
44
Yesterday, Rovio’s Amazing Alex launched on Windows Phone 8 as an Xbox Live title, whereas Microsoft’s long-awaited Ms. Splosion Man debuted only for Windows Phone 7 devices. More than one reader remarked on the irony of the graphically simpler Amazing Alex heading straight to Windows Phone 8 while a more complex game turned out to be incompatible with it. Rovio has a history of...

Amazing Alex and Ms. Splosion Man arrive on Xbox Windows Phone, won't run on the same phone [Updated]

Things have certainly been picking up for Xbox on Windows Phone lately. Not only do Nokia and Chillingo continue pumping out exclusives like Vampire Rush and Storm in a Teacup, but there have been two non-Nokia Xbox releases for several weeks now. The trend continues today as the long-awaited Ms. Splosion Man from Iron Galaxy Studios finally debuts alongside Amazing Alex. That’s the...
Oh! Today is Angry Birds Seasons day on Windows Phone 7
33
Yesterday Rovio surprised us by releasing an Xbox Live version of Angry Birds Seasons for Windows Phone 8. No one ever announced that Seasons would be coming to Windows Phone at all, and it’s not exactly the newest game in the Angry Birds franchise. But considering how many people love Angry Birds, not to mention the frustrating lack of Xbox Windows Phone 8 games, the sudden appearance...
It's time for Angry Birds Seasons on Windows Phone 8
66
There isn’t exactly an abundance of Windows Phone 8-specific Xbox Live games out there. Since the launch of Microsoft’s latest mobile OS, we’ve only had two such games to choose from: Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Star Wars. As we reported last week, more Windows Phone 8 games are coming, but at least a few are mired in certification woes. We have both good and bad news to share...
Angry Birds coming to a Nokia Lumia 610 near you?
18
If you're an Angry Birds fan and own a Nokia Lumia 610 we may have some good news for you. We had heard back in May that Rovio was going work on optimizing Angry Birds for the Lumia 610. While it may have taken six months to accomplish, it is our understanding that Rovio has optimized all versions of the Angry Birds games to work with the RAM memory limits of the Lumia 610. There was...
