Who has thought of that? Who else if not Japanese Sony, which experts already test the prototype of an Android-powered PlayStation Phone. And it is not too late when the impatient users are going to have the chance and buy that new multifunctional device. An! d it is not called an extremely influential industry if the concurrence just tries to close one eye. That the train has just left! Sony's competitor Nintendo already has thought to fight Sony Eriksson's plan and gathered with smartphone producer number one, Nokia, but it seems like they have cancelled the project. More than an year ago, the Nintendo CEO Reggie Fils-Aime appointed that his company doesn't plan to enter the telephony into its future. And now, the research goes far more than just a player being able to make a phone call while playing. It is necessary to add the option for text messaging and other features that can make users more satisfied. Analysts believe that this new device will make a real boom at this market. Everybody wants a phone possibilities that doesn't rely on some gadget. So, let's wait and see how intriguing this gaming phone is going to be.

EA odkúpila spoločnosť Chillingo, ktorá "má na svedomí" vydanie hry Angry Birds
by Zuzana Zelenakova


Spoločnosť Electronic Arts zaoberajúca sa vývojom a distribúciou video hierv stredu ohlásila kúpu vydavateľskej firmy Chillingo, ktorá je medziiným zodpovedná aj za populárnu hru Angry Birds. Hru síce vyvinula fínska spoločnosť Rovio, no tá nebola súčasťou obchodu. „Dosť sa čudujem, že uskutočnili takúto kúpu,” hovorí analytic Todd Mitchell z firmy Kaufman Bros. „Ale na druhej strane...Vzhľadom na to, že sa EA nedostala k samotnej hre kupuje vývojovú platformu, aby na ňu mohla umiestniť svoje ! vlastné produkty a tak opäť pritiahnuť zákazníkov a užívateľov sociálnych sietí.“ Hra bola pôvodne vyvinutá pre iPhone spoločnosti Apple a od jej uvedenia na trh sa predalo viac než 6,5 miliónov kópií. Ako hráč v Angry Birds kontrolujete kŕdeľ vtákov usilujúcich sa dostať späť vajíčka, ktoré im ukradli zlé prasatá. Cieľom je zničiť všetky tieto prasatá. Hru vytvorili v roku 2009, a už začiatkom roka 2010 sa stali najobľúbenejšími položkami vo väčšine internetových obchodoch s aplikáciami. Podľa agentúry Reuters zaplatila EA za spoločnosť Chillingo približne 20 miliónov dolárov. „V prípade tejto akvizície ide o zlúčenie skúseností spoločnosti Chillingo v! oblasti rozvoja nápadov nezávislých vývoj! áro v s obrovskými možnosťami Electronic Arts,“ zaznelo v oficiálnom vyhlásení EA. „Spoločnosť Chillingo stojí za vydaním mnohých originálnych a úspešných hier z vývojárskej komunity. EA je odhodlaná zachovať nezávislosť tejto spoločnosti a umožniť jej riadiť a zveľaďovať svoju sieť kontaktov a tak poskytnúť zákazníkom optimálny herný zážitok.“ Medzi hry, ktoré vydala spoločnosť Chillingo patria Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," "Minigore," "iDracula," “Cash Cow“ a mnohé iné. Spoločnosti pohybujúce sa v hernej oblasti sa čoraz viac zaujímajú o hry na sociálnych sieťach, keďže v nich vidia obrovský finančný potenciál. V júli Disney kúpila spoločnosť Playdom za ! viac než 560 miliónov dolárov, zatiaľ čo Google odkúpil spoločnosť SocialDeck zaoberajúcu sa vývojom takýchto hier pre sociálne siete v auguste. Samotná EA odkúpila v novembri minulého roku výrobcu hier Playfish za približne 400 miliónov dolárov. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCW8Ha_3nyI

EA buys Angry Birds publisher Chillingo
by Zuzana Zelenakova


International video games developer and distributor Electronic Arts announced Wednesday the acquisition of Chillingo, the company that publishes popular mobile game Angry Birds. The game was developed by Finland-based Rovio, which did not figurate in the deal. "I'm kind of wondering what they bought," said Todd Mitchell, a Kaufman Bros analyst. "But in light of EA not getting the IP, they're buying the development platform to put their own IP on it in hopes of driving social networking and customers back to their own properties." The game was originally developed for Apple´s iPhone and over 6.5 million copies have been sold since its launch. As a player you control a ! flock of birds that are trying get back their eggs stolen by the evil pigs. The aim is to eliminate all the pigs. The game was created in 2009, and it hit top spot in most of the app stores as soon as the beginning of 2010. According to Reuters, EA paid about $20 million for Chillingo. "The acquisition combines Chillingo's expertise in cultivating the ideas of independent developers with EA's global reach in mobile publishing," EA said in a statement. "Chillingo is widely recognized for publishing highly original and successful games from the developer community. EA is committed to preserving Chillingo's independence enabling them to manage and cultivate their great network of relationships to deliver the optimal gaming experience for consumers." Games published by Chillingo include "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," "Minigore," "iDracula," “Cash Cow“ and others. Gaming companies become more and more interested in social gaming, as they recognized huge financial! potential. In July, Disney bought social gaming company Playd! om for m ore than $560 million. In August, Google acquired SocialDeck. Last year, EA itself bought social games maker Playfish for about $400 million.
