Wanna make a successful iPhone game? Make it about birds! [Feature]


Let's face it, some of the most popular games for iOS are directly involved with avian affairs.  Especially those who can't fly (I don't know why Americans love defective birds, but they do!).  Arguably one of the most famous games of our decade (possibly up there with Pong and Pac-Man), Angry Birds, would be the most obvious app on that list.  This may be unfair, because it also has Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Seasons.  Either way, it's sold over 6.5 million copies.  This puzzler, for those unfamiliar with it, involves launching birds of different species out of a slingshot.  The goal is simple, kill all of the pigs on the level.

Get Scared. This is a band too. [Promo]


Soon after discovering Falling In Reverse, we found Get Scared.  It's quite the band, to be honest.  Again, there's not much information on this band.  They have a music video out, for the song "Sarcasm".  The single itself has a unique style.  The pauses between screaming and heavy guitar provide a carnival-like sensation to the music.  This, paired with fun lyrics, doesn't just occur in the single, but across the entire album.  "Best Kind of Mess" was released this year, and again, no one has hard of it yet.  There isn't even a Wikipedia page on these guys.  Please check them out and support them, because they deserve it.
