Birds that are making Games Angry..

I am sure I don’t have to tell you about what is making the established gaming companies ANGRY - Angry Bird. If you don’t know about the bird then don’t worry reading this post…Well Sorry…

In February 2010, Angry Birds was a nominee for the "Best Casual Game" award at the 6th annual International Mobile Gaming Awards in Barcelona, Spain In September 2010, IGNnamed Angry Birds as the fourth best iPhone game of all time.In April 2011, Angry Birds won both the "Best Game App" and "App of the Year" at the UK Appy Awards.At the 15th edition of the Webby Awards, Angry Birds was awarded "Best Game for Handheld Devices".

So we know now that they are good….well the above list of awards suggest that….

Ben Griffin provides facts about the birds that are angry. Perhaps.

1. Angry Birds was made by a team of four people and took eight months to finish because it was such a low priority for the company.
2. The game cost less than £70,000 to make.
3. Angry Birds fans include public figures as diverse as David Cameron, Paul Gascoigne, Kylie Minogue, Conan O’Brien and Jon Hamm, Mad Men’s Don Draper.
4. It has sold more than seven million copies on Apple’s iPhone.
5. An Angry Birds Facebook game is coming in 2011.
6. Rovio Mobile developed more than 50 games, with relatively little success, before finally striking gold with Angry Birds.
7. The Angry Birds beta for Android hit more than one million downloads in three weeks.
8. Twenty different Angry Birds toys will be released early in 2011.
9. Peter Vesterbacka, Rovio's official spokesman, has the job title 'Mighty Eagle’.
10. Speaking of unusual titles, one of Rovio's game testers was nicknamed the 'Rovio Killer' because he was so bad at their games.

So was it easy….I am sure certainly NOT…As per I know that Angry Birds was the 52nd Game that they have developed….so they had 51 attempts which was not so or average success…but then something change with what 52 thing that they developed. So how its different.

Jennifer Bergen provides a great insight on how they are different.

Rovio is releasing a slew of new products beyond what is already a healthy stable of tie-in products, which we’ll highlight below.

1. “Bad Piggies Egg Recipes”

You can now make Angry Birds-inspired recipes, like egg salad sandwiches and egg sushi with the new “Bad Piggies Egg Recipes” cookbook. Clearly, the tables have turned as the pigs are literally cooking the birds’ precious eggs. No, there aren’t any fowl-inspired recipes in here, so you won’t be making any chicken salad. Rovio is promoting it as a book with easy and fuss-free recipes with fun activities mixed in. “Bad Piggies Egg Recipes” is set to ship September 10, but you can pre-order it now.

2. Angry Birds Educational Books

Moving from the kitchen to the classroom, Rovio is planning to publish a line of textbooks for students ages four up to teens. Finnish company Rovio says it’s embracing the Finnish education system which emphasizes play in learning. One of the books will show geometry lessons by launching a bird through the air. We could definitely see some Pythagorean Theorem elements coming into play. Perhaps Rovio should release an educational version of the Angry Birds game where the player must complete a math problem properly to get the bird to fling at the right angle and hit the pig.

3. Official Angry Birds Baby Products

If you want to ingrain the fine art of bird-flinging early on in your child’s development, you may want to purchase an Angry Birds baby blanket, burpie, or baby pouch. Rovio partnered with Swaddle Designs to create the first official Angry Birds baby products. Lynette Damir, CEO and creative director of Swaddle Designs said that the aspect of Angry Birds that resonates with parents is how protective the birds are and how much they love their offspring.

4. Angry Birds Movie

We may also be seeing a feature-length Angry Birds film in the near future as Rovio recently hired David Maisel, the former chairman of Marvel Studios, to advise it on its entertainment strategy. Maisel has apparently been talking to potential writers, directors, and financing partners about the film. We’re fascinated to see how you manage to base a whole 90-minute feature film around this idea.

5. Angry Birds Turned Superhero

Speaking of Marvel, to top it all off, we thought we’d throw in a little extra Angry Birds fan action for your afternoon with these awesome Angry Birds superhero mashups. They’re available in both T-shirt and sticker form from a blog called DirtySplashBack. As you can see, all your favorite superheroes are there, and it looks like Wolverine and Nightcrawler were just added today.

We hope you’ve got your Angry Birds merchandise fill for the day. What other Angry Birds products would you like to see? Make sure to check out the Angry Birds store before you comment.
