Angry Birds Star Wars II, arriving to mobile devices on September

The birds return to the stars in a new galactic adventure

The Angry Birds freak does not seem to end. It seemed that we have reached a point where they could not do much more, but, as usual, its creators have returned to exploit the goose that lays the golden eggs, and never better. In this case, it will be with Angry Birds Star Wars II, the sequel of the delivery that uses characters and settings drawn from the galactic saga.

So we can expect the same news as always: more birds based on characters from both trilogies , new levels, and more enemies distributed by all of them. That said, there seems to be nothing too new, other than the ability to play as the Bad Piggies.
Other of the main features of the new game will be the inclusion of new characters of the original Star Wars saga, adapted according to the game thematic.

But probably the major feature of the sequel will be the usage of real toys for unlocking certain characters. They will be called "Telepods" and will be made by Hasbro. This system works with a QR code that will be inserted on the toys and will let users to unlock the toy's character.

The cost of the game will be the same for all systems (iOS, Android): $0.99 USD for standard version and $2.99 for HD version.

Here's the official trailer showing the game:

Ben Levi, 30, popped the question to Melissa Swift, 24, by having Angry Birds' maker, Rovio, create for him a unique level ending with the words "Marry Me Mel".

Happy ending: The custom-made Angry Birds level designed by Rovio that enabled Ben Levi to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Melissa Swift, despite her resentment toward his addiction to the game.
An Australian fan of the game Angry Birds proposed to his girlfriend through a custom-made level of his favorite game.

Ben Levi, 30, asked makers Rovio for help in popping the question to Melissa Swift by creating a one-off game level ending with the words "Marry Me Mel."

He also hoped it would soften her attitude to his popular pastime — which she'd previously admitted to hating because of the time he spent on it. Luckily, both Rovio and later Swift said yes to his requests — and the heartwarming scenes were caught on secret cameras set up in a Sydney restaurant.

Will you make a marriage proposal with a videogame instead of a classic one??? Well it was an original idea, but not everyone can do this.

The new Angry Birds' movie will premiere in 2016

The Angry Birds are coming to the big screen

The video game Angry Birds will jump off smartphones and onto the big screen with an animated 3-D movie to be released in 2016, Sony Pictures Entertainment has announced.
The film, a venture with game-maker Rovio, will follow the move into television — with Angry Birds Toons, an animated series that had its premiere in March.

There are more than three years until Rovio's Angry Birds movie hits cinemas, but the mobile games developer-cum-filmmaker crowned Sony as the distributor of its forthcoming film, while Despicable Me producer John Cohen is also on board.

The company now names comedy writer Jon Vitti as the man in charge of screenplay duties. He'll be well placed in the role, having experience scribbling for The Simpsons TV show and movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks, King of the Hill, The Office, and Da Ali G Show.

Meanwhile, Catherine Winder joins as a producer, utilising her knowledge from working with Rainmaker Entertainment, Lucasfilm Animation, Twentieth Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios to oversee production of Ice Age.

Mikael Hed, CEO, Rovio, said: "I’m very excited that Jon and Catherine have joined us, bringing with them their vast expertise. I’m confident we are building the right team to deliver an amazing movie experience to our fans."

The movie will be available in cinemas on July 1st, 2016 and many details will be revealed with the passage of time.

"Egg Sounds" episode summary & gallery (Angry Birds Toons)

Egg Sounds is the fifth episode of Angry Birds Toons, and was launched on April 14, 2013. The episode features the Red Bird (Red), the Yellow Bird (Chuck), the White Bird (Matilda), the eggs and the Blue Birds.

Summary

Red was tending to the Eggs one day, when the eggs suddenly appear to begin singing. Excited, Red runs off to find his friends. However, while he is gone, it is revealed that the Blues are pulling a prank by pretending to have the eggs sing with a saxophone and fooling the other birds. Red returns with Matilda and Chuck, and tries to cajole the eggs to sing again. A long moment passes, leaving Matilda and Chuck skeptical. The Blues play their saxophone again and Matilda and Chuck were fooled as well. Red then imagines the eggs containing baby cardinals, but Matilda is aghast at the prospect of them beating up a piglet. Matilda gets the eggs to sing to herself, and the Blues make a different noise than before. The hypothetical hatchlings become chickens, who soon bear stereotypical peace imagery. Chuck is unamused, and attempts to get the eggs to sing himself. The imaginary hatchlings become hot-blooded canaries.
