CrowdStar has launched a new collectible theme in Happy Aquarium, in the form of Chess Pieces. These chess pieces are available either as free gifts (the Raven, Badger, and Serpent pieces), or are available to purchase from the store, with some being premium items, and some being available for regular coins. In addition, some of these items look to be permanent additions to the game's store, while others are limited edition items, making this a true collection, as there will be a challenge in collecting all seven pieces before they disappear from the store.
The chess pieces include wizards and animals, with all coming in an off-brown, almost pewter color (except, again, a little more brown). Some of the chess pieces cost as little as 45 or 199 coins, while others, like the Wizard Chess Piece, costs either 8 Pearls or 7 Facebook Credits (the equivalent of 70¢ US).
Sure, that doesn't sound like a lot, but what makes the set expensive is the Chess Board itself. While you don't have to purchase the board to complete the set, it will truly give the set that finishing touch it might need. However, it costs either 40 Pearls or 33 Facebook Credits, or $3.30 US.
While this set will cost you premium currency to complete, it is nice to see CrowdStar offering users a collection that can be completed in ways other than having to search your friends' treasure chests ad nauseum for items that seem to never randomly drop.

UnSelf (User) Contributor 4 bubbles 5 in CRank Score: 46630 "" PM Add as friend Track Ignore Report The Perfect Game
Does it exist? If not, then why not? Resources? Lack of technical skill? Laziness? Maybe its already here. What does it mean to you? We all have one. Usually one that someone else finds that couldn't be more imperfect. What does it even mean? Is it even definable? With a word thrown around so often as such, shouldn't it be? These questions and countless more, are amongst the firsts that should pop into our heads when asked what is the perfect game? We may not know, but fortunately, we clearly know what it isn't. Excuse my opinion, but I can tell you if you're looking for it, it is further from this current generation than any of the past or any to come. And here's why...
2005 introduced to the world the 7th generation of home consoles. Before we even knew what we were in stored for, rumors, predictions and just plain conjecture, plagued the information highways with more speculation and half-truths than any of us care to remember. The Xbox 360 entered and hit the ground hard, running. Sony and Nintendo followed the following year with their console entries. We didn't see the true fruits of the labor of any of these corporations, until about 4 years into the respective consoles lifespans. In inclusion with the PC, gaming consoles in 2011, holds the most promising hand in delivering a litany of unparalleled gaming software and hardware capabilities, never before seen in gaming. Boasting unprecedented processing power and innovative motion controlling, the gaming generation we currently reside in provides plenty of backed-up testament from its past to ascertain its place as making this era, the most exciting. With that evidence present, it would only make sense that a person with no prior gaming knowledge would choose this generation before any other if given the task to seek the perfect game.....and he would fail miserably.
Every time a veteran gamer is asked to name his favorite titles of all time, the list usually consists of games deriving from the Super Nintendo, Playstation 1, and PS2 eras....usually. Why is that? Is it because those who've been gaming longer have a natural tendency to lean towards the games of yesterday? Doubt it. Has the longevity of playing games over time tarnish and taint their judgement of what makes a game perfect in their eyes? Perhaps. Should we be even asking these guys, I mean what do they know? The truth is, there are too many variables to consider when trying to isolate a single reason as to why this consensus is so consistent. The only conclusion we can draw from THAT conclusion is that, those who've been gaming longer seem to be relatively dissatisfied with todays games on a general level. So what is it about last gen and the generations before, that was so good that is now absent from todays gaming generation? One word: Everything.
There is something very peculiar about this generation that we haven't seen in a very long time. That thing is experimentation. Never before, has a generation been so plagued, so overwhelmed with test experimentation on hardware and software developments. In this gen alone, we have seen the mainstreaming of motion controls, controller-less hardware, online dominion, compatible hardware integration, achievement lists, battery operated controllers, multiple SKU's of a particular hardware, DLC, DRM, firmware updates, software updates, remote system shut-downs, HDD swaps, PC-intergration, HD resolution, "True" HD resolution, DDM, online services...the list goes on. All of these things in some part may have existed in the past but never as prevalent as it is today. Believe it or not, these things were created to make the gaming experience a heck of a lot more fun, and in some areas it actually did. However, with potential solutions comes potential problems, and now our video gaming experience is susceptible to more things going wrong then right....and that unfortunate trend is steadily increasing. However dismal the situation may seem, these issues aren't applied to the games themselves. So let's briefly talk about those.
At first glance, experimentation may seem like the right path to choose when developing for a market with an unquenchable thirst for innovation. Yet, never before has a generation suffered from more sequels, rehashes, remakes, reboots and reminders of bad games. Right now I lack the resources to create a chart, but I'm sure the total of all of the sequels, reboots and remakes of all the games in this gen, would make up for more than 85% of all the games out now versus new IP's. So you see, the perfect game can't exist today, because chances are, it already existed yesterday.
My point was to make clear why is it games today are the last things to be considered perfect. A lot of questions were asked in the beginning of this passage and perhaps none of them were answered. While writing this article, I discovered that neither I, nor any one can find the perfect game. However, I did discover what the perfect game isn't, or rather, where it isn't. Too many gems that have already done what so many games yearn to perfect today, exist in history as testaments of gaming/development perfection. Don't get me wrong, today, now more so than ever, is THE most exciting time to be a gamer. The potential, coupled with the technological breakthroughs, creates a concoction that generates inconceivable possibilities of what may come. Storytelling in gaming has never been better, and neither has gameplay. Graphics are more close to looking realer than ever and games are laced with orchestrated masterpieces. Its unfortunate though, that tomorrow and yesterday was and will be, much more engrossing than today can or will ever be. An unfortunate paradox, if we will ever have to see one.

Angry Birds for PC
Finally, those birds that everybody likes has arrived on PC. After iPhone, iPad, Android and other mobile versions, also iPhone cases and toys, Angry Birds has finally arrived on the PC thanks to the Intel App Up store. It’ll work fine and dandy on laptops and netbooks and will cost you only $4.99 to download. Nice price for this lovely game.
Angry Birds is a global phenomenon in mobile gaming and the top grossing iPhone app of 2010. So if you’re not a smart-phone wielding hipster, you no longer have an excuse not to be part of this franchise.
Overall it’s pretty much an identical game play experience to the iPhone app, with some minor differences. It’s snappy, gorgeous, and it sounds amazing. On the netbook version you use a mouse or trackpad instead of touch. There is an open hand icon when the mouse is in hover state, and a closed hand icon when you are clicking or dragging. This visible clue when pulling the slingshot is a nice aid. It allows you to fine tune shots more than just observing the angle of the slingshot band.
In terms of features, options, menu etc it’s pretty close to the original. On the netbook the replay level icon has been added to the game space. So you don’t need to pause first then replay. If you start off with bad shot, just click the replay icon, then you can start over. Saving a click is nice. There is a Menu button in the Pause menu that gets you back to the Start screen. There are some things not in play on the netbook version. The leader board and achievements are not available in the main menu. The Golden Eggs are there.
Angry Birds strikes an interesting balance of repetitive, simple tasks and challenging game play working for the many scenarios. So, if you liked this game on your iPhone or Android phone, you’ll sure like it on your big PC screen. If you are new player, don’t hesitate and join the fun now.
You must know and recognize the game from the Rovio, Angry Birds.
This game consists of seven birds with super abilities are different. By using slingshots, you can control the jump and the height of ill-tempered birds to tear down the building where the collection of green pork fat is shelter.
Where is a funny collection of birds swelled, turned into a grumpy group of birds which destroy the kingdom of lustful pigs these cunning thieves.
Angry Birds now not only for the iPhone, Android OS, PS3 and PSP. even Angry Birds has been available in Ovi Store for Nokia. And now Angry Birds have been available for Windows XP and Windows 7
Free Angry Birds for PC
As a side note because I didn’t want to do an entire post about the subject, have you all seen the Angry Birds bra? It’s available over on etsy you should go check it out. I personally don’t know anyone who would wear it but i’m sure there is someone out there who would. I don’t recommend buying this for you girlfriend or wife unless she really loves angry birds.
