Angry Birds Star Wars warps to PS4, Xbox One next month
If you had told me in 2009, when the first Angry Birds game was released for iOS, that this little mobile game about slingshotting birds would be a gigantic cultural phenomenon, I would not have believed you. If you had gone a step further and told me that it would one day be on the same pop culture plane as Star Wars, I likely would’ve outright laughed at you. Yet despite its simplistic nature, Angry Birds has taken much of the world by storm and spawned a respectable franchise, including merchandise like Halloween costumes, t-shirts, and even golf balls. Yes, Angry Birds golf balls.
Yesterday, Angry Birds made another significant jump… Rovio and Activision released Angry Birds Star Wars on the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U, Vita, and 3DS. The pair of publishers also announced that the game will be hitting the PS4 and Xbox One next month. Complete with all of the lovable features from the current-gen editions, Angry Birds Star Wars on next-gen systems will also include a few additions. PS4 players will gain touchpad controls while Xbox One owners will experience “improved Kinect functionality.” The game will also support each system’s video capture features.

Angry Birds Star Wars flies onto consoles, handhelds this October
Activision and Rovio are teaming up again to bring Angry Birds Star Wars to consoles and handhelds this Fall (hmm… which one is the Emperor and which one is Darth Vader?). The “saga” of birds batting pigs continues on the 3DS, PS3, Vita, Wii, Wii U, and Xbox 360 this October.
In addition to high definition graphics, the console/handheld version of Angry Birds Star Wars will add 20 new levels to the game as well as new new competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes.
Angry Birds Star Wars will be released for consoles and handhelds on October 29.
More iOS games go free for 5th Anniversary: Angry Birds Star Wars, Peggle, Dead Space
Five more games are now available as free downloads in celebration of the 5th Anniversary of the iTunes App Store. They include Angry Birds Star Wars, the latest entry in the bird-flinging series; Peggle, PopCap’s popular puzzler; Chopper, a side-scrolling helicopter shooter; and a pair of EA-published console adaptations: Dead Space and Mirror’s Edge.
All five games will be available to download for free for “a limited time.”
And good news! The previous batch of free titles (Badland, Infinity Blade II, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Tiny Wings, and Where’s My Water?) are also still available as free downloads. So if you missed them a few days ago, there’s still time.

Angry Birds Star Wars Review: I’ve Got A Bird Feeling About This
Angry Birds Star Wars comes on the heels of the less-than-stellar puzzle-solving fiasco that was Bad Piggies, and is the next game in the Angry Birds Series (which also includes Angry Birds, Angry Birds Space, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Magic) from Rovio Entertainment. After that Bad Piggies episode, not only do we have our slingshot back, but we have a Lightsaber, too! How is that not amazing? (more…)
