Angry Birds Christmas
Latest
Angry Birds Seasons app available now
Rovio has released Angry Birds Seasons, and it's now available on the App Store. The app is a free upgrade for those that purchased Angry Birds Halloween, or it's available to download for £0.59 in the UK ($0.99 in the US store). If you didn't purchase Angry Birds Halloween, you'll be pleased to know that the 45-level Halloween special edition is included as a free special episode called Trick or Treat -- hence the new title, Angry Birds Seasons. We can only hope that there will be further seasonal episodes to come. Expanding on Angry Birds Halloween, the app introduces Season's Greetings. This brand new festive level is packed with 25 daily surprises to enjoy while counting down the days to Christmas, in much the same fashion as a traditional Advent calendar. Season's Greetings includes new achievements, Game Center support and a very merry golden egg. [Speaking of Advent calendars, both Gameloft and Appvent are counting down the days until 12/25 with a different free app or special preview/discount every day. Don't miss out! –Ed.] If you're an Angry Birds fan, we're sure you must be feeling like Christmas has come early this year. And if you didn't purchase the Halloween edition, well ... at this price, you can't exactly turn up your nose at it. You're now getting a whole lot of Angry Birds entertainment for not very much money at all.
Angry Birds Christmas to be free upgrade to Halloween edition
Rovio has a free gift on the way for everyone that ponied up the $0.99 for the Halloween edition of Angry Birds. The promised Christmas edition of the super-addictive mobile game will be a free update for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. @RovioMobile responded to a query on Twitter confirming that the next edition of the game will come gratis. Rovio has not yet indicated whether it will start incorporating iAds into the iOS version of the game and giving it away as they have done with the AdMob-supported Android edition. Fortunately, the 7 million Android users helping the birds recover their eggs will be glad to know that the Christmas add-on will not be an iOS-exclusive like the Halloween edition. [via MobileBurn]
Angry Birds Christmas in December, global flash mobs planned
The foul finches in Angry Birds are preparing to spread holiday cheer with Angry Birds Christmas, which should be available sometime in December. Pocketgamer took note of a Finnish site that posted images of the expansion which, if it follows the pricing of the previous holiday special, Angry Birds Halloween, should come crashing in at $.99. There has not been an official announcement made yet. Developer Rovio has dubbed December 11 Angry Birds Day and has set up a website for happy players to meet up all around the world and form flash mobs. Further details regarding your mob's activities will arrive by email closer to the date -- don't worry, it will allegedly be suitable for all ages. Then again, it's probably wise to be cautious when the basis for a meet-up is bird flinging.
