Those Angry Birds have got people addicted to taking out pigs on the iPhone and iPad but that’s not enough for our feathered fiends as they are also heading to PS3/PSP, the local toy shop and possibly the cinema! The game has sold over 6 million copies on the iPhone and iPad – an amazing amount and mostly down to incredible word of mouth, attracting many people who don’t usually play games to take an interest and have a go on their phone. Now publisher Chillingo have confirmed the game will be released as a ‘Mini’ for the PS3/PSP, one download from the PlayStation Store that is playable on both platforms – bargaintastic.
Developer Rovio have also been in talks to licence the game to Hollywood and toy companies to fully cash in on the popularity of the game, however a potential stumbling block is that a film would take between 2-3 years to be released, and the game could be long forgotten in that time. Would you see an Angry Birds film, or is there another title on the app store that you would like to have some spin-offs?

Many years latter the masses had given up hope of the game ever making appearance, especially after the last prophecy, Duke Nukem Forever, failed to be released. Alas the patient have been rewarded and Gran Turismo 5 is set to hit the PS3 in November and as a reward Sony are letting people with lots of money treat themselves to some quite splendid special editions.

You wait ages for a new Final Fantasy game and then two come along in the same year. MMO Final Fantasy XIV will be available to buy this year – if you are a PC owner. The game hits the PC in September, with the PS3 version arriving much later in March 2011, which is a bit of a shame for the fans who eagerly entered their registration codes packed in with Final Fantasy XIII to get into the BETA. Now while the game is officially out on September 30th, you can get in a week earlier if you stump up the cash for the Special Edition – very clever Square-Enix. Read on to find out what is in the special edition, and how you can get involved in the July PC BETA.
