[UPDATE: Game Released] Rovio soft launches their newest entry into their Angry Birds franchise called Angry Birds Action!

Rovio, makers of all things avian and angry, have released a new game into the Angry Birds franchise called Angry Birds Action! The game is currently being rolled out softly in a few select regions, so I haven’t had the opportunity to try it out yet. That being said, the game fits the mold of prior releases, where players will pull back on Red, and then let him loose to bounce around a variety of outdoor structures (sound familiar yet?), to see what can be taken down.

One of the games we checked out at GDC this year was a game called Super Phantom Cat, which takes a lot of inspiration from some of the classic platformers to have ever been released, but has a bit of a unique visual look to it.

Dodge obstacles to DJ Lucky Charm’s music in Now Escape!, coming to Google Play this week

Soon to be released by Cherrypick Games, Now Escape! is a new endless runner game for Android devices. The idea of this runner game is fairly simple. Players will be dragging their shape, in this case an orange star, around the screen as it moves forward. There are various obstacles that need to be avoided, but they are also capable of rotating, pivoting, or otherwise transforming, and they do so without notice. This means you’ll need to have some pretty decent reflexes as well.

Large Minecraft fan site Lifeboat hacked with over 7million accounts affected, mainly for Pocket Edition

Fan sites and generally anything online getting hacked isn’t always news, even when it is video gaming related.

So far Minecraft on any platform has managed to stay fairly secure but unfortunately that isn’t the case anymore as a major fan site for Minecraft: Pocket Edition, called Lifeboat, was hacked.
