A company cannot live on Angry Birds alone, which is why Rovio just released a new game called Amazing Alex. The name seems entirely appropriate, because the new game immediately grabbed hold of sales charts and crushed them beneath its heel. Is Amazing Alex that great of a game, or is it just cruising on the popularity of its feathery sibling? VentureBeat has the story.
The real question is, can anything follow up the success of Angry Birds? A tidal wave like that has more to do with hitting the right place at the right time than anything else. Is the timing right for Amazing Alex?
