What I want in Angry Birds Star Wars

It’s no secret that Star Wars fans will finally be presented today with a Star Wars game worthy of the license. Today Rovio plans to launch Angry Birds Star Wars, and from the looks of the image below from USA Today’s article “Star Wars invades Angry Birds” the game is going to be legendary..

So what would I want in the game for it to make me forget the prequels? well here is a short list.

1. Darth Vader can use the force to throw meteors in your path
2. Luke can use the light saber while in bird flight… to knock out obstacles
3. Millenium Falcon can be used like an Angry birds… and it teleports
4. Asteriod fields
5. Princess Leia.. nuff said

Let’s see how many of these Rovio gets right!

Star Wars Falcon Gunner – Augmented Reality game for iPhone

The idea of a piloting a Star Wars Falcon gunner is not so far far away anymore. THQ have just released Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. TechCrunch says

“The game also has an augmented reality mode which replaces the computer graphics background with your camera view. So you can play in your room or outdoors and the spaceships look like they are coming in from the distance. (see video below, which was taken from the Empire State Building). Be careful doing this in public, otherwise you might become that guy depicted in this other

showing what you might look like if you play the game in public. The augmented reality mode is fun to show people, but for pure gameplay I prefer the full-graphics mode. I’ve been playing a pre-release version of the game for a few days. I am not a game guy, but there is a real Wow factor here.” – The First Augmented Reality Star Wars Game, Falcon Gunner, Hits The App Store
