    Angry Birds tops app download lists

    By

    Building off the exciting news that the App Store now has over 25 billion served, Apple has unveiled the most popular app downloads of all time, region by region. Unsurprisingly, games are at the fore. Even less surprisingly, Rovio's Angry Birds ranks as the top paid iPhone app of all time in the United States. Fruit Ninja, Doodle Jump, and Cut the Rope occupy spots two, three, and four.

    Rovio CEO talks Angry Birds, growth, and future prospects

    By

    Rovio, the studio behind the enormously popular Angry Birds franchise, is flying higher than ever (and will in fact be taking Angry Birds beyond the stratosphere later this spring). But while it's true that a merchandizing blitz has helped the Angry Birds explode out of the confines of the mobile games market, the fact remains that it seems as if Rovio is (ahem) putting all its eggs into one basket.

    You know how you and your friends are always kicking yourselves for not coming up with the idea for Angry Birds? Well kick a little harder, because Finnish newspaper Arvopaper is claiming that Rovio, the company that made the game, is worth over 6 billion dollars. How did they come to that number? Well that's the thing… We don't really know.

    I believe John F. Kennedy said it best in 1962 when he declared "we choose to go to the moon in this decade, and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." Rovio, it would seem, subscribes to the same core values. On March 22nd, they'll be flinging Angry Birds right into orbit.

    It's been a long time coming, but after nearly a year of waiting, Rovio has finally delivered on their promise. As of right now, Facebook gamers can now join the ranks of their iOS/Google+/PC/Mac/Chrome brethren and discover the deep satisfaction that can only be found in flinging a bird into a wooden house filled with pigs.

    Gene Simmons in talks to make an Angry Birds/KISS deal

    By

    There's a KISS coffin, you know. It's called the KISS Kasket. It might be the ultimate collectible for a KISS fan, but I wouldn't want to be buried in one. It might seem like a strange thing to bring up in an article about gaming, but let's face facts: Gene Simmons wants to put KISS branding on everything. He'd put in on the dollar bill if he could. So it should come as no surprise then, that in a recent interview with IndustryGamers, 'The Demon' confirmed that there are talks with Rovio to do something KISS-themed with the Angry Birds franchise.

    Rovio treats piracy like free marketing

    By

    There's been an interesting tidbit floating around the internet over the last 24 hours that stems from a talk Rovio CEO Mikael Hed gave at the Midem conference in Cannes. When discussing piracy, Hed took a stance you don't often hear from his side of the industry; "Piracy may not be a bad thing: it can get us more business at the end of the day."
