Angry Birds Coming to PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.


Apparently the extremely popular iPhone and iPod app will be arriving on the consoles later this year.

According to the maker, Rovio, this will not be a sequel or the same game on the consoles. The game itself is going to be different and will apparently include moving pigs and different and more challenging landscapes.

I am assuming that this will be a downloadable game that will be available on the Xbox Marketplace, PSN store and the Wii Shop. The price is supposedly between £10-14. This does seem pretty steep as the app is only 59p on the App Store but I am hoping that the game will have a lot more options and have a longer story mode.

Virtua Tennis 4 To Support Kinect.

Sega have confirmed that Virtua Tennis 4 will support Xbox Kinect. The game is due to be released in Spring this year. Could this be the first game to excite more hardcore gamers? Sega are hoping that the kinects fantastic motion controls will help enhance the players gameplay and give the game a more realistic feel. Could this be too similar to the wii though? One thing that will be good though is the supposed ability to have the kinect to scan your own tennis racket to use 'in game'.

Sega have also confirmed who the main headlining tennis players will be in the game, you can see this in the trailer below:
