Angry Birds Star Wars II trailer shows some Force

Rovio is adding a new dimension to the next Angry Birds Star Wars game with those funny little statues that kids enjoy in games like Skylanders. Put them close to the tablet and watch them appear in the game, as the first three movies get the treatment with levels set in Naboo, Tatooine (again) and fighting the grim Darth Maul.

I suppose the telepods makes a change from all-digital DLC, but surely Rovio won't make it mandatory to impact the gameplay?

Plants vs Zombies 2 takes us time travelling

There wasn't much they could do with the strict recipe of the original that would still leave it as a genuine sequel. So, this time instead of tweaking the mechanics, they've tweaked the timeline with new levels appearing in different eras thanks to a time machine in the garage.



Lazy? Yep, but the original was fun enough and the new game will be out in July on iPad and iPhone for those who are missing their zombie fun.
