Angry Birds is awesome.
If you’re not familiar with it, it’s something of a mobile device phenomenon. A game where pigs have stolen eggs from birds (hence their anger) and where retribution is exacted by the sling shotting of birds at the aforementioned pigs! They’re not just regular birds though, some drop bombs, some ARE bombs, some divide into 3 and plenty more super powered feathered adversaries.
It, of course, started on the iPhone but recently became available on Android devices and was download 1 Million times in 24 hours!
That’s helped somewhat by the fact that it’s ad-supported on Android – meaning it’s FREE to users.
Anyway, I’m not here simply to talk about the game. I’m here to talk about the fact that it is coming to the consoles; that’s right – Angry Birds will be on:
- Wii
- PS3
- Xbox 360
which is great stuff. I’m especially excited if they make it a Kinect game, as JonThomasDesigns says in the Gizmodo comments says:
They Should make a first person view using Kinect ,, Like you’re pulling the Slingshot .. Once you launch you become the Bird and use movements to do the special move such as splitting in 3 or dropping the egg
That would definitely be a great game
Rovio Mobile also tell us that Angry Birds 2 is under way and:
the pigs will be a lot more active than just being slingshotted at by birds
Looking forward to this…I assume there’s a Windows Phone 7 version coming right?!
