There is a new local multi-player feature for Angry Birds Go!, by Rovio Entertainment. Now you can play against your friends in a head-to-head challenge on WiFiconnected mobile devices. Rovio plans on developing the feature to be able to include more players, so that whole groups could race against each other.

"In trying to make friendly multiplayer happen in our games, there was no question that Angry Birds Go! would be the perfect fit. Anyone who played console games as a child remembers the excitement when playing with a group of friends. This is our goal with Angry Birds Go!" said Wilhelm Taht, Head of External Products at Rovio.

You can download Angry Birds Go! for free on the App Store.

Rovio Entertainment has released a new match-3 game called Jolly Jam - where you'll play as Prince Jam as you try to save Princess Honey and the Jelly Kingdom from the evil boss.

The game is delightfully adorable with its cute characters and bright graphics. It offers hundreds of levels, epic combo attacks, and an adventure across the Jelly Kingdom from Lemonade Lake to the Chocolate Mountains. It also features a new mechanic to match-3 games that lets you draw a box around matching jellies to complete levels.

You can download Jolly Jam for free on the App Store.

People have been loving the Ham Dunk update for Angry Birds Seasons. And with over 375 million plays, Rovio Entertainment wants to celebrate. They're giving us a new update, called NBA All-Star.

To catch all the birdy basketball fun, you can download Angry Birds Seasons for free on the App Store.

Rovio Entertainment's latest update to Angry Birds Seasons has those crazy birds flying in the wrong direction for winter. This time they head north to Finland.

The new holiday episode, On Finn Ice, gives us 25 new levels, Tony (Terence’s Finnish cousin), and a new theme song performed by Finnish cello-rockers Apocalyptica. Professor Pig will illuminate you on the finer details about Finland while you knock down those pigs and enjoy the wintery weather.

You can pick up Angry Birds Seasons for $0.99 on the App Store.

Rovio Entertainment and Hasbro, Inc. are combining one of the most downloaded games world-wide with one of the most cherished 80s cartoon classics. Angry Birds Transformers roll out! The Autobirds will face-off against the insidious Deceptihogs. From the video it looks like we can look forward to seeing characters like Redimus Prime and Chucklebee.

Blanca Juti, Chief Marketing Officer of Rovio, said “We’re really excited to combine the iconic Transformers universe with the quirky world of Angry Birds. This mash-up is going to appeal to those who grew up with the brand in the 80s, as well as fans of the brand today. People are going to love it!”

Later this year they will also be introducing Angry Birds Transformers TELEPODS. The toys will allow players to add characters and upgrade powers in the game.

Look out for these ro-birds in disguise later this year.

Today Rovio has pulled the curtain back on their latest project to reveal... another curtain. Angry Birds Stella is going to be a game set in some area of the Angry Birds world we've yet to see, and it's going to be spread out over several different forms of media. We're talking games, cartoons, toys, etc.

About the only other bit of info that can be gleaned from the announcement is that Rovio is trying to up the serious in this one. “Angry Birds Stella is breaking the mold by introducing strong, passionate characters who really stand for something, while adding plenty of action and reality into the mix," says Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio Entertainment, in the press release.

I dunno, it sounds kind of like The Real World: Angry Birds to me.

Amidst all the holiday sales and out-of-nowhere releases, it's important to remember that the App Store still picks one app or game out of the crowd to be featured as its App of the Week. And to get a price drop to zero dollars for the duration. This week, they've chosen Angry Birds Star Wars II.

In his review back in September, our own Blake Grundman said, "The Force is strong with this one. This IS the game we’re looking for." Seems like more than enough of a reason to check it out for free, right?

Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars HD enters its final battle against the Pig Empire in a conclusion that feature 30 new levels. The update takes players inside the Death Star as they take on Lard Vader and the Emperor in a boss fight, and players will even find out who's behind the mask of Lard Vader.

A new update has made its way to Angry Birds Star Wars II, bringing users 44 new levels in the latest chapter of Battle of Naboo. There are 20 new Pork Side levels that include an attack on Naboo's captial city where players will face Qui-Gon Jinn in a boss battle, and the 20 new Bird Side levels continue the battle on Naboo before heading into space. The other 4 levels are secrets for players to unlock.

The update also adds three new characters which are available for free. This includes Padme, Captain Panaka, and Zam Wesell.

Pocket Gamer reports that Angry Birds has received 30 brand-new levels that takes you deep into the Piggy laboratory. There players are met with three new piggy potions that change the appearance of the piggies. Also, there is a new Shock Wave ability for the Bomb bird that creates a strong electric blast during play.

The birds are back (again)! Not content with simply hurtling avian critters into pork-filled structures, Rovio has changed things up significantly for their next offering. Angry Birds Go! is a fully 3D kart racer featuring a bunch of recognizable series characters, loads of special powers, and upgradable vehicles. Yes, you read that correctly; it's a kart racer.

Angry Birds Go! will be hitting the App Store on December 11 for free, and I have to admit the video makes it look pretty interesting despite the severe change in direction (and genre). What do you all think? Is it too ridiculous to fathom? Are you anxiously waiting to get behind the wheel? Did the video sway you either way? Feel free to chime in below!

Angry Birds Star Wars HD takes players on a journey to the Moon of Endor where it's up to them to shut down the Death Star's deflector shield before doom strikes!

Alright, I'm off to Endor! Later!
