Angry Birds fans will soon be able to have their progress migrate across multiple devices. Enter: Rovio accounts, only available in The Croods game and the original Angry Birds (Poland and Finland) right now, but Rovio expects to roll out the functionality to all of its games eventually.

Rovio’s latest financial report shows the company had a strong 2012, earning $ 195 million in revenue, with almost half of that coming from toy sales alone. The most recent Angry Birds game from Rovio is Angry Birds Friends, a free app on iOS and Android that integrates with Facebook.

Ubisoft Bringing Remake Of Prince of Persia 2 To Mobile Devices

April 12, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Ubisoft is readying a remake of the 1993 Prince of Persia sequel for smartphones and tablets.

Today, Ubisoft released a trailer for the game, entitled Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame. The video actually begins with a brief look at the original 1993 Prince of Persia 2 (this new remake drops the "2" from the title), and then segues into new footage of the mobile game, which is the familiar 2D platforming-and-swordfighting formula, but with dramatically improved visuals.

There is no release date confirmed for the U.S., but the trailer says that its "coming soon to smartphones and tablets," so we should expect both iOS and Android versions, hopefully.

Final Fantasy V, one of the most highly regarded entries in the Final Fantasy franchise, is heading to Japanese iOS and Android devices.

The game will be available in Japan for iOS devices at the end of the month, with an Android version planned for the Summer. The mobile version will be based on the Game Boy Advance version of the game with somewhat updated graphics as seen above.

There is no news for a North American release yet, but hopefully we'll get an announcement soon. We need a good mobile Final Fantasy after Square Enix's last release.
