Angry Birds Go Will Be Stuffed With In-App Purchases, Some As High As $100 - Gamers Cry Fowl

<a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_go_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="go" border="0" height="150" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_go_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="go" width="150" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Angry Birds franchise has thus far been
 on the lighter side of the free-to-play model - the original game 
launched free and ad-supported on Android, and later versions added 
small charges for HD versions and a few in-app bonuses like the Mighty 
Eagle. But it looks like Rovio is pulling out all the stops when it 
comes to the upcoming kart racer, Angry Birds Go. <a class="external" href="http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Android/Angry+Birds+Go%21/news.asp?c=55580" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pocket Gamer reports</a>
 that gamers in New Zealand (where the game is getting an early launch 
on iOS) are finding it positively stuffed with in-app purchases</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. 
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go" height="179" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go" width="320" /> <img alt="angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go6" height="179" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go6_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go6" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The game apparently includes just about every kind of IAP scheme you 
can think of. It's got the dual-currency system for upgrades and kart 
purchases: coins and gems, the latter of which you can buy with real 
money. It's got a time-based wait system, most frustratingly 
demonstrated with EA's Real Racing 3: your bird gets tired after five 
races, after which you'll have to either tag in another bird, pay Gems 
to "re-energize" it, or wait until it's ready to go again. And if that 
wasn't enough, Angry Birds Go uses the Hasbro Telepod system for zapping
 in unlockable characters and bonuses with toys from your local 
retailer, in the same vein as Skylanders and Disney Infinity. This was 
previously seen in <a href="http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/09/18/new-game-angry-birds-star-wars-ii-hits-the-play-store-with-prequel-based-characters-and-telepod-toy-integration/">Angry Birds Star Wars II</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It might seem obvious from the fact that Rovio has turned Angry Birds
 into a world-striding colossus of a mobile franchise, but they really 
don't seem to care any more. Angry Birds Go shows all the symptoms of a 
game and a developer that are interested in wringing as much real cash 
out of gamers as possible. The in-app purchases for Gems have the usual 
markups, and gamers can purchase upgraded karts directly - the most 
expensive and presumably fastest is a full £69.99 or $99.99. This kind 
of extravagance isn't unusual from developers who wouldn't know 
restraint if it smacked them with a two-by-four, but it's disheartening 
to see it from a developer that was previously so reasonable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go4" height="179" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go4_thumb1.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go4" width="320" /> <img alt="angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go3" height="179" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go33_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="angry-birds-go-angry-birds-go3" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a shame, too: Rovio delivers rock-solid games with reliably 
balanced mechanics, and Angry Birds Go is their most ambitious technical
 project to date. If anyone can get the casual crowd into a racing game,
 it's them. But I predict that Rovio will have a lot of frustrated fans 
on their hands after the first few racing rounds, much like EA did with 
Real Racing 3. And if they continue down this path, we'll be looking at 
new Rovio releases with the same tired cynicism as Glu and Gamevil. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Angry Birds Go is set to hit mobile devices worldwide on December 11th. </div>

Chromecast has been slowly but steadily adding support from major media apps since it launched: Hulu Plus, Pandora, and HBO GO
 have joined Netflix and Google's own Play Music, Play Movies, and 
YouTube. Apparently the Big G thinks this is enough to warrant a 
dedicated sub-section of the Play Store, <a class="external" href="http://on-device/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">as spotted by Google Operating System</a>.

There's not much to it: the feature is just a list of the seven apps 
mentioned above, plus an embedded "how to cast" video at the top. But 
it's showing up even on phones and tablets that don't have the 
Chromecast app installed, which would seem to indicate that Google is 
interested in promoting its miniature streaming wonder. It's also a 
positive indication (though by no means a conclusive one) that Google 
intends to keep expanding the selection of Chromecast-compatible apps. 
That being said, it's a bit odd to see that the Chromecast app itself is
 not included in the list. </div>

If you've got a Chromecast and you're a regular user of any of the 
supported services, odds are that you don't need this kind of thing - 
you've already got your streaming and Chromecast apps handy. But at 
least it shows that the Chromecast isn't going anywhere anytime soon... 
unlike certain orb-shaped streamers we could name. </div>

Humble Mobile Bundle 3 Updated With A Trio Of New Games For Moderate Spenders

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Humble Mobile Bundle 3 was launched last week
 with the debut of two big games on Android, Ridiculous Fishing and 
Swordigo. As is traditional with the Humble Bundle, paying above the 
average price gets you the full selection of games, as well as 
additional content in the future. Well, the future is now and Humble 
Bundle has added three more titles and soundtracks to the deal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The popular game Hundreds is in the new set, which if you're not 
aware, is a puzzle game that requires you to tap on floating circles to 
make them grow. The numeric value of the circles must add up to 100, 
hence the name. If you want something a little more action-oriented, 
there's Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor. In this title you play as a 
spider spinning webs in an abandoned mansion to catch food and discover 
secrets. Then there's Desert Bus, which simulates the 8-hour drive from 
LA to Las Vegas – yes, really. It's kind of a joke, but all the proceeds
 from this game go to charity. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't gotten in on the bundle yet, and you want all nine 
games, you'll have to pay more than $5.26 (but that will change over 
time). Not a bad deal for a ton of great games. Anyone who already 
bought the full bundle should be able to grab the new games too.</div>

Bonus Round Rock Runners, Boson X, And An Alien With A Magnet

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus 
Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the
 day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider 
this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our 
bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth 
of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got a runner game 
with some Portal inspiration, another runner that should please physics 
buffs, and a game that delivers exactly what it promises. Without 
further ado:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Rock Runners</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If Portal and an endless runner had a baby, it would be Chillingo's 
Rock Runners. And that includes Portal's excellent physics - you're 
going to have to use gravity and momentum in this game to reach the end 
of the sci-fi platforming levels. It's not just a one trick pony, 
either, as demonstrated by creative use of swinging ledges and twitchy 
jumps. Graphics and sound look great, and there is a lot of personality 
in the characters and environments. International readers, <a class="external" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here's the "rest of world" version</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take control of an energetic, running, jumping, swinging runner in 
this hugely entertaining action platform game. Leap across puddles of 
radioactive goo, swing over gaps using your light-beam grapple, and zip 
through portals on your way to completing each stage. <a class="external" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Sprint">Sprint</a>
 through over 140 levels, each one with it's own set of challenges to 
accomplish. Collect gems to unlock upgrades and new playable characters!

Boson X</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A unique premise can go a long way, and that's why this endless 
runner set in a particle accelerator is in this list. You play a tiny 
man who, for some reason, is trying to find particles at faster and 
faster speeds. Simple but attractive 3D graphics and a breakneck pace 
should please anyone who enjoys a challenge, and physics enthusiasts 
will get a kick out of the kooky story. The game costs two bucks on 
Android, but you can <a class="external" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">download it on Windows, Mac, or Linux for free</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quantum jump from Planck to Planck and reach critical velocity in 
Boson X, a rotational runner from Mu & Heyo. Build up speed inside a
 massive particle accelerator and generate high-energy collisions to 
discover strange new particles. Use precise timing and fast reflexes to 
navigate a subatomic world where floors and ceilings don't exist. Will 
you be fast enough to find the elusive Boson X?

An Alien with a Magnet</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Combine the planet-hopping nature of Super Mario Galaxy, the odd 
physics of They Need To Be Fed, and the inexplicably explosive barrels 
of Donkey Kong Country, and you get An Alien With A Magnet. This simple 
2D puzzler tasks you with finding the best route through an asteroid 
field littered with gems, occasionally using the titular magnet to cling
 to planetoids. Single-touch gameplay and 45 levels make this a perfect 
time-killer for quick and casual sessions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take control of our Alien and his spaceship and get him back to his 
home planet using just a magnet. Get ready to explore multiple galaxies 
using this magnet to orbit around colorful and unique planets to get to 
your goal. But beware of dark holes, challenging puzzles, multiple locks
 and asteroids blocking your path in space. Besides the adventure mode, 
you can also play an extra bonus mode which will keep you busy for even 
more hours of fun gameplay.</div>
