Angry Birds available for Android (Free*)


Recommended Posts

Works great on HTC Hero.

If you are having problems, get astro file manager. Then go to the post on here where someone created a mirror. Download from that link, and then use astro file manager to install.

Too much work for me honestly, plus ES File Explorer is better according to 90% of the comparisons I have seen between it and Astro. :p

eh, what ever floats your boat. Mine worked and caused no trouble :p but I have been using astro for quite some bit already.

Yeah I guess the ads just were not enabled yet, as I played for a little bit when I was just eating lunch, and the ads are definitely there now, start of every level. While slightly annoying, they do not stop gameplay at all, you can start playing even if they are there, so I can definitely live with them for now.

It's up on the Market btw. I got the email this morning and it was there when I searched for it around noon. Glad to finally have the full version of the game!

Must have JUST went up minutes ago.....AppBrain shows <50 downloads (granted AppBrain doesn't cover everyone who uses the market directly, it does cover a large amount of android users). I had been checking on and off all day, as of an hour ago it was not in the market (at least, it didn't show up when I had searched), but I luckily was able to get it through the getjar website instead.

I absolutely love this game. Addictive. And great to see more developers releasing games for Android. The fact that the game is free is even more awesome, the ads are unobtrusive and go away when you start playing anyway.

Great stuff, A+

Maker of ?Angry Birds? Acquired for $20 Million by Electronic Arts [REPORT]

http://mashable.com/2010/10/20/angry-birds-electronic-arts/

The company behind the popular ?Angry Birds? mobile game ? Chillingo ? has reportedly been acquired by Electronic Arts for $20 million in cash.

An EA spokesperson tells Reuters that, ?By acquiring Chillingo, EA Mobile is increasing its market leadership on the Apple Platform as well as reaffirming its position as the world?s leading wireless entertainment publisher.?

Angry Bids has been a staple near the top of the charts in the iPhone app store and debuted on Android back in September. Chillingo made Angry Birds free for Android users just this past weekend.

For EA, the deal represents yet another move into the emerging areas of social and mobile gaming. Last year, the company acquired popular Facebook game developer Playfish for $400 million, a move that recently led the company to launch a Facebook version of the popular ?Madden? football game.

More to come ?

    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
