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 ?

    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
    • New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
