Angry Birds landing on the BlackBerry PlayBook

blackberry-playbook-angry-birds-berryreviewHonestly, what is a mobile platform without Angry Birds? With more than 140 million copies downloaded, it’s more popular than any phone or device in the world. At BlackBerry World today, Research In Motion announced that its new tablet, the BlackBerry PlayBook, will get Angry Birds. Unfortunately, that’s all we know. There is no public release date, nor do we know if the PlayBook will get exclusive levels or any special jazz.

In February, Microsoft announced that Rovio’s hit game was coming to Windows Phone 7. At that time, the game had only been downloaded 100 million times. We’ve tired on the game a bit, but it doesn’t seem to have reached its popularity peak yet. Question is: can Rovio make another hit game, or is it a one-hit wonder? I remember reviewing Rovio’s US Marine Corps Scout Sniper for a RAZR phone back in 2006. The developer has come a long way from that mess, to be sure. Perhaps it doesn’t need another hit, though. Could Angry Birds stick around, like Tetris?

People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4
A man and a robot walking in the wastelands in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience. In the case of the Automatron expansion, an entire new questline pitting you against a robot army led by a figure known as the Mechanist. Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.

One of 2023’s best indie games is getting a movie starring LaKeith Stanfield
James descends on an elevator in El Paso, Elsewhere.

El Paso, Elsewhere, one of Digital Trends' favorite indie games of 2023, now has a film adaptation in the works.

Variety reports that LaKeith Stanfield -- an actor known for his work in films like Judas and the Black Messiah, Knives Out, and Haunted Mansion, as well as TV shows like Atlanta -- is going to star in and produce the film. The adaptation is in the works at Di Bonaventure Pictures, the production company behind the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Meg film franchises. Little else is known about the film at this time, although we'd presume it will be a fairly direct adaptation of this intense story-driven game.
