Angry Birds Rio HD FREE on the iTunes App Store

abr

*** App Store FREE app of the week ***

What happens when everyone’s favorite fierce fowl get caged and shipped to Rio? They get very angry!

In Angry Birds Rio, the original Angry Birds are kidnapped and taken to the magical city of Rio de Janeiro, where they eventually escape their captors and set out to save their friends, Blu and Jewel – two rare macaws and the stars of the hit motion picture, Rio. Angry Birds Rio pairs the physics-based gameplay of the original game with unique twists based on the film.

If you get stuck in the game, you can purchase the Mighty Eagle! The Mighty Eagle is a one-time in-app purchase in Angry Birds that gives unlimited use. This phenomenal creature will soar from the skies to wreak havoc and smash the pesky pigs into oblivion. There’s just one catch: you can only use the aid of Mighty Eagle to pass a level once per hour. Mighty Eagle also includes all new gameplay goals and achievements!

In addition to the Mighty Eagle, Angry Birds Rio now has power-ups! Boost your birds’ abilities and three-star levels to unlock secret content! Angry Birds now has the following amazing power-ups: Sling Scope for laser targeting, Super Seeds to supersize your birds, Samba Burst for dancing destruction, and TNT drop to send a special (explosive) delivery!

Angry Birds Rio features:

– Six fantastic episodes with 180 exciting levels, plus 24 new bonus levels!
– Completely new achievements!
– Special Hidden fruits – discover them all!
– Put your Angry Birds skills to the ultimate test in spectacular boss fights!

DC Comics Deck-building Game Out Now

dcdeckbuildinggame

After months of waiting, fans can pick up the highly-anticipated DC Comics Deck-building Game in their local game stores today. From San Diego Comic-Con to PAX Prime, gaming fans flocked to Cryptozoic, the premier developer of original and licensed games including The Walking Dead Board Game and Locke & Key: The Game, to try out this hugely popular game. Cryptozoic developed the DC Comics Deck-building Game under a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products in partnership with DC Entertainment.

Boasting art straight from the hit comics, the DC Comics Deck-building Game offers exciting and engaging gameplay for both comics and gaming fans, allowing them to play as the marquee characters they know and love. DC Comics Super Heroes and Villains featured in the game include Superman, Batman, The Joker, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Darkseid, Lex Luthor and many more. The amazing card mechanics give new depth to fan-favorite characters, allowing them new equipment and super powers. Plus, hundreds of potential card combinations and deep deck-building strategy keep the game fresh and exciting for each and every play session.

Cryptozoic’s DC Comics Deck-building Game is easy to learn and quick to play, offering incredible fun for two to five players. Each player chooses a Super Hero and builds a deck around that Super Hero and his or her special powers. The cards available to add to each player’s deck are ever-changing, so each game offers compelling decisions and on-the-fly planning. At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points— based on the cards that player has acquired during the game— is the winner!

Designed for two to five players (ages 15 and up), the DC Comics Deck-building Game is now available at hobby stores for an MSRP of $40.00.

Nintendo Announces Wii Mini for $99 Exclusively in Canada

 

Available Dec. 7th exclusively in Canada, the Wii Mini will be available for $99 which includes the system, red Wii-mote and nunchuk. The price is right but unfortunately it comes at a cost, the Wii Mini has no internet capabilities and can’t play Gamecube games. Wii Mini is designed exclusively to play Wii games and that’s about it. I’m sure most gamers won’t miss these features but with the Wii U now available I just don’t see the sense in releasing this downgraded Wii console.

Sony 84″ 4K TV Only a Measly $24,000

After recently revealing their new 84″ 4K TV Sony has finally put it up for pre-order. For a measly $24,000 you can be one of the first to own the XBR-84X900, Sony will even install the TV for FREE. Obviously being a bleeding edge product I imagine demand won’t be very high but in a couple years I’m sure the price will come down considerably as 4K becomes the mainstream standard. Let’s not forget that this TV is 84″ and most current TV’s top out at 60″ to keep the prices down. Sony also announced a 4K Blu-ray player to go along with this TV and rumor has it that the next PlayStation will be 4K compatible. Currently though there are no providers supporting 4K HDTV let alone 1080p and I don’t see that changing any time soon so it will probably be a good couple years before we’re gaming on a 4K set.
