Angry Birds TV series in the works

By Molly McHugh Published January 19, 2011

According to Rovio CEO Mikael Hed, an Angry Birds TV series is in the works. In an interview with C21 Media, Hed reportedly said the show has been a project for “quite a while, and that is definitely one of my big focus areas right now – to work on broadcast content for Angry Birds.”

Earlier this year, we heard that the insanely popular smartphone game would be coming to console. At the Social Gaming Summit, Rovio Mobile CEO Peter Vesterbacka even mentioned the company was planning to play off its immense success with everything from toys to movies. Looks like Rovio’s delivering.

As far as content, a Rovio spokesperson told AFP that it “would be interesting to the whole family, for both adults and children,” and that the developing company is currently looking at writers to collaborate with. As of yet, there is no distributor.

Is Angry Birds reaching oversaturation (if there even is such a thing)? A game for consoles is a natural fit, but a show that appeals to kids and their parents seems a bit like a stretch.

Rockstar Games has finally confirmed the asking price of its highly anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto VI aka GTA 6. The game is going to cost $79.99 in the US for the standard edition, and if you're willing to plonk extra cash on the Ultimate Edition, you will have to part ways with $99.99 per copy. Pre-orders for the game are starting today, June 26th, at midnight, and you will be able to reserve a copy for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.

The asking price is definitely on the higher side. However, it's still below the $100+ speculations that were floating just a few weeks ago. By PC and console gaming standards, $80 as a starting price is still quite a high fee. So far, only Nintendo has been able to sell games with a similar price tag and has courted plenty of backlash for it, as well.

Netflix just unveiled Unhinged, and it might be the strangest thing the streamer has ever put in its games tab. Arriving June 30, this interactive horror story does not need a console or controller. Instead, your own smartphone becomes the entire interface, and you receive phone calls that ring straight through your actual device mid-game.
