Angry Birds for Windows Phone launch moved to June 29th

Gaming

Despite early reports that Rovio would push Angry Birds for Windows Phone out of the nest on May 25th,  Microsoft said on Wednesday that the game won’t launch until June 29th. The good news is that there will be plenty of other new titles to hold Windows Phone users over. Hydro Thunder Go will debut on May 25th, Doodle Jump lands on June 1st, geoDefense will launch on June 8th, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 will be available on June 15th, and Plants vs Zombies will launch on June 22nd. Microsoft didn’t clarify why it pushed the launch out, but we suspect it’s just in an effort to offer a new game every week. Don’t forget: we’ll be reporting live from Microsoft’s Windows Phone press event in New York City next Tuesday at 10am, where we’ll hear more details on the platform.[Via Mobilized]

    There are plenty of great games besides Angry Birds out there. I dont understand what the craze is all about. Ive played it before and it was fun for about 15 minutes, but this is no Battlefield 3 here.

     I wish I could say I’m surprised that something related to WinPhone 7 has been delayed…
    I gave it an honest try, liked what was there, but gave up during the NoDo NoGo

       Angry Birds on a B.B would be a pain in the ass.
