LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

Open The Pig Bay Doors In Angry Birds Space

Posted on Friday, February 17 @ 11:25:02 Eastern by

Not content with all my hate and vitriol, Rovio Entertainment also wants my confusion. That's why they've announced Angry Birds Space, the latest expansion in the long line of successfull iOS and Android games.

Next month, Rovio will launch (literally) the new Angry Birds games into space, calling it a whole new game, not just an expansion or companion game like Angry Birds Seasons. The title is expected to land on the App Store and Android Market March 22nd, with a ton more licensing merchandise to follow....

*sigh*

This doesn't make any sense. How does the physics engine and gameplay work in a zero-gravity environment? What game mechanics will really justify calling this a "brand new game?" I seriously doubt this is worth referencing Quantum Leap over.

    In space nothing stops moving in the direction it starts until it hits something. sounds shady but then so does a gaming website that makes elitist comments about a mobile app. Kind of like getting mad at a kid with a speech impediment because he can't say Mississippi.

    could it be that you don't mind the game so much as the people who play and proudly proclaim themselves "Gamers"? And doesn't that make you a bit of a snob since the games that old skoolers started playing were less advanced then the shittiest iphone app?

    Who are we to criticize the poor deluded masses who play this horse ****? I remember playing a looney tunes game that made no sense and was quite possibly broken and enjoying myself because I got to control bugs. We have to start somewhere. Perhaps we should embrace these people and steer them towards the light instead of shunning them. Yes. Let's do that.

    Go forth and bring the ignorant blissfully unaware sheep that dare besmirch our name GAMER!

    Since you're so impressionable Dan you should play Horny Birds. I think you'd like it more.

    You're not a real gamer unless you like Angry Birds! But seriously, it is one of the handful of mobile app games worth playing.

    Angry birds in space confuses you but birds being launched by a slingshot at ball shaped pigs in rickety structures (aka angry birds itself) doesn't? Pretty sure realism wasn't a selling point on these games.
