Most of iPhone or Android user probably heard or even played the Angry Birds game app. With over 30 million downloaded It is one of the most used smart phone games out there. I was really impressed when I read that earned over a million a month just from ads being served on its Android platform, and it’s also been a great deals for both Rovio and Google’s Admob companies.

The following video above will go into detail about Angry Bird, and explain more how Roxio is become one of most richer in the mobile gaming market.

Now you probably are wondering what was the key secret behind his earnings, right? Well, they have built a cool game that everyone like and downloads. The next step was to keep adding holiday editions and new levels. Players love it and keep coming back as new games are added which of course leads to more ad spending.

Rovio’s Angry Birds mobile game is going great guns in the mobile space, but Android users may be feeling a tad left out as the iPhone version of the popular game has already seen a Halloween edition and a new Mighty Eagle update coming soon, however Android fans of the game are going to see a new edition as well.

According to an article over on Intomobile by Kelly Hodgkins, and by way of Phandroid, Rovio has used their Twitter account to let it be known that Android gamers will be getting a special Christmas edition of Angry Birds “any day now.”

Furthermore another Rovio tweet announced that the Android version of Angry Birds has now hit a huge download milestone of 7 million times, which is behind the iOS version of the game that has been downloaded 10 million times.

However, when you take the download figures across all platforms and versions, Angry Birds has been downloaded a huge 30 million times, which you’ve got to admit in quite impressive for a game that has you throwing birds at pigs.

Of course as an Angry Birds fan I will be keeping an eye out for that Christmas Android edition to get my Christmas fix of green pig destruction, anyone else?

Angry Birds is often described as an addictive game, which helps explain why the full version’s launch for Android phones is big news. Starting today, the game can be downloaded for free through GetJar, a third-party app store, and it’s coming to the Android Market over the weekend.

If you’re one of the folks who’s hooked on Angry Birds — and please don’t take this the wrong way — I don’t understand why. Angry Birds is a clever game, for sure. It has cute characters, elegant design and simple goals. But addictive? I just don’t see it.

Video game addiction is often associated with massive multiplayer online games, like World of Warcraft. The social nature of these games, some experts say, fills a void of friendship and acceptance that the real world doesn’t provide. I’m sure that the dangling carrot system of rewards in MMOs also plays a big role. These kinds of addictive games get a negative connotation, perhaps because you become a social outsider by playing with other people in solitude.

The other prominent class of addictive games are repetitive puzzlers, like Tetris and Bejeweled. A1994 Wired article examined how Tetris stimulates the brain, and got a wonderful explanation from Vladimir Pokhilko, a former clinical psychologist and friend of Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov. He said Tetris is addictive because of instant visual feedback, the creation of unfinished business that pushes the player to continue, and — the real important part, I think — automation, where your motivation to repeat the same actions becomes habitual.

Somewhere in between these two classes lies the recent wave of social games like Farmville. It has a social layer and a rewards system, like an MMO, and repetitive, automatic actions, like Tetris. Maybe that’s why Zynga is raking in the dough.

Thing is, Angry Birds doesn’t fit into these descriptions of addictive games. It’s the opposite of automatic, requiring careful, calculated precision; it offers no rewards other than new levels and abilities; and there’s nothing social about it.

So here’s my theory: Angry Birds is not an addictive game. It’s just a solid game, the kind that makes you want to play for a while. On consoles and computers, this is no big deal. I’d play Super Mario Bros. 3 for hours on end when I was seven years old. But on iPhone or iPad and Android platforms, where the games are supposed to be inconsequential, who would’ve thought?

Let me know if I’m way off base.

I have found one of the coolest games available for Android.  Raging Thunder is one of the best games I’ve seen so far for Android phones.  The graphics are on par with games found on the iPhone and the music sounds great on my Motorola Droid.

The game allows single player or Multiplayer over the internet or via LAN.  I tried the demo version (Lite) and was only able to experience the single player option.  More options are available on the full version of this app.

Driving is done via the phone built-in accelerometer by tilting the phone back and forth.  It worked fine on my Droid and the response time was spot on.

I’m not a huge gamer, but there are times that I like to unwind with something simple.  Alien Attack for Android phones is one of those unwind type games if you can get it to work.

That said I’m not so sure if this game is ready for prime time.  It has display problems on my Droid and has crashed a few times.  I haven’t been able to figure out how to return fire.  I grew up during the days of Space Invaders and Asteroid.  But this one will probably end up in the delete pile.

If you like simple games without much thought give this one a try.  Maybe you’ll save the planet or uninstall before you get that far.
