With the announcement of "The New iPad" (iPad 3), it's no surprise that it would be backed up by killer apps from developers of the market. Today, Rovio Entertainment uploaded a video of its new game Angry Birds Space. The game is introduced and talked about by NASA astronaut Don Pettit and how the game's mechanic will work as gravity plays a different part in the game's system. Sure, this theme and idea has been done many times before by flash game developers for years, but so was the original concept for Angry Birds. It's sad but true that many popular games on the mobile or social platforms are copies of other existing games, but there's nothing we can really do about it (at the very least know about it).
I'm not entirely against mobile, social, and casual games as some of them actually turn out to be pretty innovative or fun. Although I'm not a huge fan of the Angry Birds series, I do like the aesthetic and character it gives that has seeped into pop culture. I also enjoyed the video uploaded and especially enjoyed the demonstration by Mr. Pettit at 1:52. I'm not sure if other people had the same dreams but as a kid I dreamed of what it would be like in space and do all sorts of crazy zero-gravity activities and so seeing that Angry Bird plush get shot off in zero-gravity made me all giddy inside. There's no doubt that Rovio Entertainment will find its success once again on Apple products and mobile devices everywhere, especially with "The New iPad's" release on March 14th and its own launch on the market on March 22nd.
