If you are into interesting statistics then here is one for you. Video games Super Bowl ads generally make an appearance every year and this one was no except. In terms of numbers though, this year was a little different. PC/console games had a total of zero ads during this Super Bowl.

Amazon’s Appstore has a pretty good game up today for their daily Free App Of The Day feature. Today it is Handy Games’ fantasy-themed title called Guns ‘n’ Glory Heroes.

Instead it is labeled as an Action-RPG title.

There is a lot of talk lately that Rovio is having a less then stellar time right now with revenue. Many sites including ours have reported on it and it is basically due to the fact that you can only do so much with a franchise like Angry Birds before it gets tired and old.
