Angry Birds: Trilogy

Postby Freestyler on Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:15 pm

Is coming to 3DS, Xbox 360 and PS3, so there!

That's right "casual games" haters, Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Space are all headed our way via a triple pack!

So now everyone gets to experience the wonderful delights of Angry Birds without hiding behind the flimsy excuse of it being "only for casual gamers anyway. I got Dark Souls on my console!!11!!"

I love it! We're all the same now! HAhahahaahaha!!!!! :lol:

Angry Birds has been available on PSP, Windows and OS X since January 2011 so what's the fuss?

Angry Birds is a game. Dark Souls is a game. Farmville is a game. Skyrim is a game.
If you play, you're a gamer.

Simples.












*And personally I'm glad it coming to Xbox 360. Sometimes I'm just too fat/lazy to get off the chair! :lol:

Hmm Tetris was one of the earlier examples of a casual handheld game that got ported to every platform known to man, that was created by communists who wanted us all to be the same.

Now Angry Birds is doing the same thing, do the people behind it have a communist agenda?
Or maybe something even more sinister, the fourth game could be exclusive to that Chinese console!

Are videogames a key part in a new cold war?

I don't know how high the standard is for games on the PS3 that utilise Move, but on the 360 Angry Birds will be a killer app for Kinect users. Honestly.

Surprised it's a disc release though. I thought it was XBLA bound.

Got to disagree there - Angry Birds, while being very accessible to the casual player, does have some hidden depths, and requires a fair bit of skill and judgement to hit the high scores. A bit like Tetris there maybe?

Agree with the touch screen point though - really wouldn't want to play it any other way.

These sort of games do play alright with an analogue stick though. There's a few Angry Birds clones on XBLIG (Angry Fish, Onager, to name a couple) and they work ok. The game's still there even with a different control method.

We can beg to differ then.
Fling the bird and hope it goes where you want it

Well the first one has been available for Christ knows how long on the PSN Minis store... plays pretty well with the Dualshock's Analogue stick imo

For those who think it's all fling the bird hope it goes where you want.... obviously you're doing it wrong :roll:

I honestly don't get all the hate it gets.. sure it might get frustrating later on, it's basically geometry and physics... no different to playing a pool or snooker sim really
