Rovio
Had enough of Angry Birds yet? Rovio doesn’t seem to think you have, because they’re sending Angry Birds to outer space on March 22. Whether this will be a standalone game or just another expansion for one of the other Angry Birds titles is unclear at this moment, however it seems likely that it will be its own unique title. Actually, very little is known about Angry Birds Space other than the release date, its name, and its logo. Rovio announced its launch via the Angry Birds website where they also posted a short teaser trailer and a wallpaper you can download for your computer.
Many questions arise over the new setting. Will this change the fundamental mechanics that made the series so popular? After all, there’s virtually no gravity in space and this game relies very heavily on the physics attributed to gravity. If everything is set in a zero-G environment, other laws of physics would have to be taken into account and the game would get a lot more complicated.
If they wanted to avoid the changes, it could be set inside the International Space Station or a fictional moon base. Then again, the game is a complete work of fiction seeing as it has green pigs stealing eggs from suicidal birds. They can do whatever they want, including taking their popular game exactly as it is and giving it a pretty space backdrop which we’ll all just have to accept as we fork up 99 cents and spend countless hours perfecting each level and saving every last egg all over again. That’s probably exactly how it will happen and in the end and its likely no one will even complain. It will still dominate the sales charts for weeks and it will still be played by millions because there’s no denying the magical spell those birds have had over us since day one.
