Who knew that a PR stunt by a Finnish game studio tied to Seattle’s iconic landmark would drive so much attention and interest? But that’s what happened when Rovio, maker of Angry Birds, quietly touted a mysterious event at the Space Needle this month in order to drive interest in their new game: Angry Birds Space. GeekWire’s Todd Bishop was on hand, and his report (and Ustream) from the front lines was among the most popular on the site this past month.
